A gated estate on approximately 2.55 acres at 862 Chiltern Rd closed $519,880 above its final asking price of $11,500,000, the highest-priced of the week’s reported home sales in the San Francisco, California metro area.
The five sales for the week ending September 6, 2026, combined for $37.22 million and stretch from Hillsborough and Tiburon to Menlo Park’s Vintage Oaks community and two San Francisco closings β one in the Marina District and one in South of Market β that brought $5.8 million apiece. The group spans nearly a century of construction, from a 1924 Marina District residence to a 2021 South of Market condominium, and Compass held the listing side of two of this week’s five highest-priced reported sales.
