Most Expensive Zip Codes: 94920, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

For the next couple of weeks we will be checking out some homes in the most expensive zip codes in the United States, up today, 94920 . This zip code is in the Bay Area of Northern California encompassing Tiburon and Belvedere. This wealthy seaside enclave has a median price of $2,192,000 and a healthy appreciation rate of 282% since 1990. We've highlighted a variety of homes in the area before including the Belvedere home belonging to businessman Tom Perkins and Andre Agassi's Tiburon estate.

Tiburon incorporates most of the TIburon Peninsula in Marin County, California and the city of Belvedere occupies the south-east part of the peninsula. The most expensive estate in this zip code is an 8.5 acre estate listed at $38.5 million. The home I chose for today's example is a less pricey but very charming. The compound on the water includes a main house and a two-bedroom guest house, a smaller one-bedroom boat house and there is a one-bedroom, one-bath au pair suite above the three-car garage. The home with gorgeous seaside views is listed at $11.5 million.

One of the great things about playing around on the Realtor.com website is the handy dandy estimated mortgage payments feature. Your monthly on the beauty shown here would be an astounding $148,556. This castle-like home is in the Orange County, California enclave of Laguna Beach. This castle-like home is approximately 10,000 square feet with six bedrooms.
