The former Pacific Heights mansion of Charles “Kip” Thieriot, the great-grandson of the San Francisco Chronicle co-founder, is for sale for $14.2 million. Thieriot died of COVID in January at the age of 73.
Thieriot is the great-grandson of M.H. de Young, who with his brother Charles, founded the Chronicle in 1865. Thieriot was a member of the board of directors, which ran the family-owned paper before it was sold to the Hearst Corp. in 2000.
Thieriot’s former residence is a 7,675-square-foot Mediterranean-style home with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Classic meets modern in this bright home with bay views. The home features a wrought-iron staircase and an elevator, a skylit state-of-the art kitchen and a manicured garden with a loggia, among many other amenities.
Neill Bassi with Sotheby’s International Realty is the listing agent.
Thieriot, who went to Stanford for undergrad and UC Berkeley business school, is best known for overseeing the Chronicle’s fledgling entry into movie production and cable television.
