legendary 44-room French chateau-style mansion at 1200 Jackling Drive was sold for 25 million dollars, a record-breaking price for a San Francisco residence.According to the buyer's representative, Alex Buljan, “The buyer is a Hillsborough local with an appreciation for classic properties, adamant about maintaining the character and history into the next generation.”Kathryn and Bing moved there in 1964, and Kathryn stayed there for 60 years. When Bing died in 1977 he make sure that the house will remain at the disposal of his wife for the rest of her life.The house, as it appeared in the pictures, was very well preserved and decorated in perfect taste. It is nice to hear that the new buyers will respect the identity of the property.Kathryn Crosby loved the house very much, but after her passing, it was a reasonable decision by her children that they live in different areas. I am glad they achieved a good deal in such a short period.
