Talk about a massive discount!
The asking price of a San Francisco mansion has now been slashed 32 per cent from its original $12.5million price tag in September 2017.
The $4million savings means the neoclassical mansion, which sits on a full city block in Glen Park, can be had for just $8.5million, SF Gate reported.
San Francisco’s Chenery House is now available for purchase for $8.5million, 32 per cent less than its original $12.5million asking price when the mansion was first put on the marketing in September 2017
The 9,966-square-foot mansion is owned by former ad exec, author and bon vivant Bob Pritikin, who banked major cash after writing the famous Rice-a-Roni jingle in the 1950s. He currently lives in the home and is in his 80s
The home’s foyer can easily hold five dinner tables of 10 people and it has a living room the size of a tennis court. On the far right is the original clock that once hung above San Francisco’s F.A.O. Schwarz
Pritikin has hosted plenty of fundraisers and parties at the home over the years, including his annual Labor Day party attended by up to 850 people, including luminaries like Carol Channing, Mickey Rooney, Liberace and Bob Weir
The three-unit building’s main house, which Pritikin lives in, has five bedrooms and five bathrooms

The property’s main house, which is fronted by a French neoclassical facade, consists of five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with a living room that is almost the size of a tennis court.
As a further example of the mansion’s scale, listing agent Joel Goodrich of Coldwell Banker told SF Gate that the home’s foyer ‘can comfortably hold five dinner tables of 10.’
The home features a wall-size replica of Rembrandt’s ‘Night Watch,’ commissioned by the Lord Mayor of Amsterdam
One of the home’s astonishing features is an indoor-outdoor swimming pool with a retractable glass roof on the second floor
Pritikin, now in his 80s, has taken full advantage of all that space, hosting a bevvy of parties and fundraisers at the home over the years, including his annual Labor Day party attended by up to 850 people.
Other astonishing features of the home include an indoor-outdoor swimming pool with a retractable glass roof, a carport that houses four cars and a driveway capable of handling up to 15 cars.
Pritikin currently lives in the main residence and will move into ‘some other glamorous place’ once the mansion sells, Goodrich said.
