Widely regarded as one of the greatest comedians of all time, Robin Williams was known for his incredible wit, improvisational skills and an extraordinary ability to juggle comedy and tragedy, sometimes in the space of one scene. 

Now, one of the late actor's homes is for sale – listed for an extraordinary $25 million (£20.1m). Built in 1926, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home sprawls across almost 11,000 square feet of a 0.4-acre lot in an exclusive San Francisco enclave. Click or scroll on to take a tour...

The star of family favourites such as Hook, Mrs Doubtfire and Aladdin, legendary actor Robin Williams was an icon of his generation. As well as his faultless comedic performances, he earned critical acclaim for dramas like Good Morning, Vietnam and Dead Poets Society, as well as Good Will Hunting, for which he won an Oscar.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, the beloved performer built up an estimated net worth of around $50 million (£40.2m) before his tragic death in August 2014, aged just 63. 

Let's take a look around one of the many incredible homes Williams bought during his lifetime, which has just hit the market...

Located in Sea Cliff, one of San Francisco's most sought-after neighbourhoods, Williams spent $3.2 million on the stunning home in 1991, around $7.2 million (£5.8m) in today's money. He was no doubt attracted to its characterful features, such as the impressive stone fireplace and imposing beams in this sun-filled drawing room.

Period details abound throughout the house, including ornate mouldings, wide plank hardwood flooring and built-in cabinetry, as well as carved archways, marble columns and patterned terracotta tiles. 

Every room makes the most of the Californian sunshine, featuring French doors or multiple large windows. We can just imagine the entertainer hard at work in this tasteful study, thinking up his famous one-liners.

Williams shared the home with his second wife, film producer and philanthropist Marsha Garces, before the pair divorced in 2010 after 21 years of marriage. Garces kept the home following their split and has lived in it ever since. 

While the property itself is impressive, it's the breathtaking vistas that really set this home apart. Imagine soaking in the tub while taking in this dramatic view of the Golden Gate Bridge! The outlook stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Marin Headlands and the mouth of the Bay.

Elsewhere, house hunters will find a movie theatre, a Prohibition-era bar hidden behind wood panelling and a secret passageway linking the children's bedrooms, according to Robb Report.

The villa was originally built by architect Earle B. Bertz for a lumber magnate and was designed in a distinctive Italian Renaissance style.

Decades later, Robin and Marsha carried out an extensive renovation of the home, which they shared with their two children. “Marsha and Robin Williams took the house down to the studs and rebuilt it in the early nineties, updating all the major systems,” the listing agent, Steven Mavromihalis, said in a press statement.

“They expanded the home to its current 10,598 square feet on three levels. However, they took great pains to preserve the rare and valuable building materials used in 1926, which are simply no longer available in the construction of modern homes."

Now on the market for $25 million (£20m), Marsha is downsizing and saying goodbye to the home she has lived in for more than 30 years. “It’s a beautiful, happy house,” she told The Wall Street Journal. “We had many, many fantastic years of fun and play and joy there.”

Much like Williams himself, his former home is a place that "flawlessly balances boundless beauty and grace, with childlike mirth and exuberance", according to the listing.

“It is everything you imagine Robin Williams to be,” Mavromihalis told the WSJ.

Read on to take a tour of more incredible 90s movie star homes...

Ever wanted to take a peek inside the real-life homes of the world's biggest movie stars? Well, now's your chance, because we're handing you the keys to the gorgeous cribs of some of our favourite 90s actors.

From Jim Carey's 'sanctuary' mansion to Julia Roberts' San Francisco townhouse, not to mention Samuel L Jackson's Manhattan condo, these A-listers have funnelled their wealth into seriously envy-inducing pieces of real estate. Click or scroll on and let's take a look...

Canadian-born actor Jim Carrey has come a long way since working as a janitor in his teenage years to support his family. Hitting the big time in the mid-90s in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber and The Mask, the actor went on to earn a Golden Globe for his performance in The Truman Show, before donning his furry green suit in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Said to be worth around $180 million (£145m), he has his pick of luxury homes, but he's held onto one of them for nearly 30 years. However, change is afoot...

The 61-year-old actor has listed his LA ‘sanctuary’ mansion in February 2023, which has been his home for the past three decades, for a staggering $28.9 million (£23.3m).

Carrey bought the ranch-style estate in 1994 for $3.8 million, around $7.8 million in today's money, around the time of the release of his first major movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. According to reports, the actor describes the 12,704-square-foot property as “a place of enchantment and inspiration.”

Located in the Brentwood neighbourhood of LA, the five-bedroom, nine-bathroom home sits on two acres of land and includes a gym, a tennis court, a waterfall pool and a dedicated yoga platform. The listing came shortly after the actor announced he planned to retire following the release of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 in 2022, explaining he feels he has “done enough.”

In the main living areas, pitched, beamed ceilings with skylights and swathes of French doors allow natural light to flow through the space. The neutral, contemporary interiors are dotted with eye-catching paintings and statues, many of them Carrey’s own work. Elsewhere are mementos from his life in film, including his Riddler costume from Batman Forever, which is displayed in the bar area. 

The incredible screening room meanwhile is state-of-the-art, with a perspex box showcasing his costume from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Sumptuous armchairs and sofas provide a comfortable setting in which to kick back and enjoy the show.

While it is not certain where Carrey will buy next, it seems likely he will look for a calm and isolated spot to pursue his art.

Elsewhere, the primary bedroom has its own sitting area, fireplace and pretty balcony overlooking lush greenery and trees in blossom.

Reflecting on his time there, Carrey said: “Every night the owls sang me lullabies and every morning I sipped my cup of joe with the hawks and hummingbirds, under a giant grandfather pine.” 

Two months after putting his home on the market, Carey cut the price to a still-impressive $26.5 million (£21.4m). The listing is no longer active, so whether the actor found a buyer or decided to hang onto the property for a little longer is unclear.

With a big screen career spanning almost four decades, 90s heart-throb Christian Slater has amassed a net worth of a reported $25 million (£20.2m). Raised in New York City, the star went on to live in the sunnier climes of LA and Florida, investing in a stunning Miami residence in the Sunshine State. 

Slater’s Italian-style home spans 3,293 square feet within a gated street close to the waterfront. The property is surrounded by lush vegetation in the Coconut Grove area of Miami. Purchasing the property for $2.2 million (£1.8m) in 2013, the villa served as the primary home of the True Romance star and his wife, Brittany Lopez for many years.  

Also known as 'Villa Dolce far Niente', or 'the sweetness of doing nothing', the meticulously renovated home boasts safety windows and a generator to help guard against hurricanes, a common occurrence in the Florida area. 

Arched doorways throughout add to the Mediterranean feel, leading through from the lush landscaped grounds into the stunning reception areas. Large multi-panelled windows cast streams of Florida sunlight into each room, not least in the spacious and neutrally decorated living area. 

Also on the first floor is the state-of-the-art kitchen, which comes complete with SubZero, Viking and Miele appliances, plus a large pantry and a breakfast nook. Hanging vines and potted plants abound, while palm trees punctuate views of the stunning grounds.

The second floor hosts three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main suite benefits from a large walk-in closet, an ensuite marble bathroom with a separate shower and soaking tub, as well as an entertainment area.

The Heathers actor will have also enjoyed poolside views from the suite's rooftop terrace and sunny seating area.

Mahogany doors lead out onto the brick-lined patio and poolside area, flanked by towering palms and mature shrubbery for extra privacy.

After nine years of soaking up the sun in this palatial spot, the leading man listed his magnificent abode for nearly $4 million (£3.2m) in 2022, fetching an offer that exceeded the asking price in just three days.

The actor moved on, says Compass realtor Liz Hogan because "his work has him dividing his time between his residences in New York and Los Angeles.” 

From Pretty Woman and My Best Friend's Wedding to Notting Hill and Stepmom, Julia Roberts starred in some of the biggest movies of the 90s and remains a megastar to this day.

Thanks to her decades in the business, the iconic actor is said to be worth in the region of $250 million (£202m) and she's used her wealth to amass an array of gorgeous homes, including a historic townhouse in the heart of San Francisco.

At the beginning of 2020, Roberts snapped up this attractive townhouse in the family-friendly neighbourhood of Presidio Heights, San Francisco. It might look fairly modest from the outside, but it set the star back an eye-watering $8.3 million (£6.7m). 

Constructed in 1907, the elegant home was designed by architect Sylvain Schnaittacher and remodelled by John Wheatman. However, since her purchase, Roberts has undertaken an impressive renovation.

The front door opens to a light-filled hallway, decked out with hardwood floors and leaded windows. The imposing entrance leads through to just over 6,200 square feet of living space, which includes a charming lounge with a central fireplace and built-in shelving, and a formal dining room with panelled walls and a coffered ceiling. 

The colourful kitchen is likely one of the home's finest spaces and boasts a warm, country aesthetic thanks to its marble worktops, centre island and rustic green cupboards. Stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry and a wine fridge make it the ultimate space for a foodie, while its breakfast nook is the perfect spot for morning coffees. 

Upstairs there are five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, but the pièce de résistance has to be the master suite. Located on the third floor, it features a dressing area, a celebrity-worthy walk-in closet and a private balcony.

Elsewhere, hidden away in the basement, there's a cinema room, wine cellar and office. What's more, thanks to the home's hilltop location, many of the rooms enjoy views of the famous Golden Gate Bridge. 

John Travolta has been gracing our screens since the 1970s, starring in such hits as Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Yet the movie star went in a different direction in the 90s, transforming himself into the ultimate mobster with roles in iconic movies Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty.

Today, he's said to be worth a staggering $250 million (£202m), and he's used his money to secure an array of stunning residences across America, including a sprawling island retreat in Maine. 

In February 2021, Travolta decided to wave goodbye to this traditional island home off the coast of Maine, which had belonged to the legendary actor for some two decades. John and his late wife Kelly Preston, who tragically lost her battle with cancer in July 2020, were newlyweds when they purchased the property back in 1991.

The perfect place to escape the hubbub of Hollywood, the VIP holiday home boasts a 10,830-square-foot manor, 48 acres of land, a swimming pool and private beach access.

Built in 1904 by architects Peabody and Stearns, the property was dark and dull when Travolta and Preston moved in, but thanks to an extensive renovation it's now colourful, light and cosy.

Before beginning the redesign, the couple browsed magazines for inspiration, before settling on an English country house theme. They spent a few months camping out in a small farmhouse on the estate while they carried out the work.

After their first Christmas in the house, the couple hired esteemed interior designer Christopher Boshears to finish the job. Every room is decked out in linen draperies, damask and velvet upholstery, as well as cottage décor that was partly inspired by the property's coastal setting. 

The house benefits from plenty of unique architectural details, too, including stone fireplaces, gilded light fixtures, Tudor Revival sash windows and characterful timber trims. 

The traditional mansion offers 42 rooms in total, including numerous living rooms for work, rest and play, a large kitchen, a formal dining room, 20 bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The master suite features a wall of windows and comes with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, fireplace and, of course, jaw-dropping views.

However, after languishing on the market for nearly two years, with an initial price tag of $5 million (£4m), the listing was mysteriously taken down in January 2023. It appears the home has been removed from the market as, according to Zillow, it hasn't been sold recently. 

After an acclaimed role in Taxi Driver at the age of 12, Jodie Foster went on to become one of the world's most recognisable stars. Taking the lead in movies like The Silence of the Lambs, The Accused and Flightplan, Foster accumulated a $100 million (£81m) fortune.

In recent years, she's also been behind the camera, taking on the role of producer and director on episodes of TV's Black Mirror and Orange Is the New Black. Let's find out where she lives...

In 2019, Jodie Foster placed this secluded mansion on the market with Christie's International Real Estate at a $15.9 million (£12.8m) asking price. Tucked away in the mountains above Coldwater Canyon in Beverly Hills, the property had belonged to the Oscar winner for seven years.

Foster bought the pad back in 2011, for just less than $11.8 million (£9.5m), and sold it for $14.9 million (£12m) mere weeks after putting it on the market. We can see why it was such a quick sale!

The house sits on 0.65 acres of land and is spread over two floors. It was built in the 1950s, but Foster undertook an interior makeover before listing it, resulting in modern spaces that are effortlessly complemented by period touches.

Inside, the property offers light-filled and sophisticated living spaces, some with floor-to-ceiling windows, oversized fireplaces, hardwood floors, traditional timber wainscotting and vaulted ceilings. 

The front door leads into a double-height entrance hall, complete with a statement staircase, swathes of windows and whitewashed panelled walls. From the hall, the home opens up into an inviting living room, a media room and a formal dining room. There's also a contemporary kitchen with marble countertops and French doors that open out onto an alfresco dining deck. 

Head upstairs and you'll find five generously sized bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The idyllic master suite has its very own balcony, taking in the picturesque peaks and troughs of Beverly Hills.

The property's lush garden provides yet another place to soak up the Californian sunshine and features a huge rectangular swimming pool and a generous stretch of lawn.

American actor, producer and screenwriter Matt Damon is considered one of the world's most bankable stars. According to Forbes, the combined North American box office of his movies is more than $3.8 billion (£3bn), which makes Damon one of the highest-grossing actors of all time.

From The Talented Mr. Ripley to Saving Private Ryan and Good Will Hunting, Damon's movies are as impressive as his real estate portfolio. Let's take a look...

Matt Damon bought this stunning zen-inspired retreat back in 2013, paying a cool $15 million (£12.1m) for the privilege. Located in the exclusive neighbourhood of Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles, California, the mansion spans more than 13,500 square feet and boasts seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and a stunning design aesthetic throughout. 

Effortlessly blending Californian modernism with Zen influences, the custom-built home boasts a 35-foot-high entrance hall with a statement mahogany ceiling, and an open-plan living and dining room featuring a massive stone fireplace and steps that lead down to a billiards lounge and wet bar.

There’s also a media lounge, a luxurious kitchen with spider-veined white marble counters and a family room with floor-to-ceiling doors that open to the backyard.

Elsewhere, there’s a lavish basement level, two staff bedrooms and a master suite, kitted out with a spacious bathroom and two huge walk-in closets, one of which is clad in mahogany. The suite also opens up to a private terrace, which provides idyllic views over the garden, where tropical foliage, a children's playground, a resort-style swimming pool, spa, waterfall, koi pond and numerous open-air pavilions can be found.

The house isn't short on luxurious amenities, including a climate-controlled wine cellar with a tasting room, a high-end fitness centre and a massage room.

Unsurprisingly, the glamourous property was listed for a staggering sum when Damon decided to say goodbye in January 2021. Though he originally asked $21 million (£17m), it finally sold for $18 million (£14.5m), making it one of California's priciest real estate deals in 2021, according to the LA Times.

Samuel L Jackson has been gracing our screens since the 1970s, but the legendary actor really hit the big time in the 90s, starring in the likes of Pulp Fiction, Die Hard with a Vengeance and Jackie Brown.

He's now considered one of the world's most loved and widely recognised actors. What's more, the films in which he's appeared have collectively grossed over $27 billion (£22bn) worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing actors of all time.

With his fortune, Samuel L Jackson has invested in a range of homes, but he's always been drawn to New York City. In 2005, the acting legend put down $4.8 million (£3.9m) for a chic condo inside this historic apartment building, known as The Leonori, on the Upper East Side. Jackson wasn't the first celebrity owner though. In fact, he bought the home from sports star Greg Anthony.

Head up to the building's eighth floor and you'll find Jackson's gorgeous apartment. It spans an impressive 3,000 square feet and features four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, as well as stylish open-plan living rooms that provide uninterrupted views across Manhattan's skyline.

There's a formal dining room, a living room and separate den, an eat-in kitchen and an entertaining space with a wet bar. 

The apartment was once three separate units, meaning some of the rooms benefit from unique features, including beamed ceilings and classic herringbone floors.

Other luxurious touches include the black crystal chandelier and clawfoot soaking tub in the master bathroom, and the huge walk-in closets in the master suite.

In November 2018, Jackson listed the luxurious home for $13 million (£10.5m), which is a pretty sizable profit on his initial investment.

The actor now lives in a Tudor-style home in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County, California, telling Architectural Digest that he wanted to raise his daughter in a calmer environment. 

Winona Ryder made a name for herself back in the 80s, after securing roles in two iconic cult movies, Beetlejuice and Heathers. She really came into her stride in the following decade, starring alongside Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands and Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted.

Today, she has a net worth in the region of $18 million (£14.5m), as well as a new generation of fans, thanks to her role in the hit Netflix series, Stranger Things. So where does the star live?

Well, Ryder owned this gorgeous property in San Francisco for some 25 years. She purchased the home back in 1995 for a mere $1.3 million (that would be around $2.6m / £2.1m), but sold it in December 2020 for just over $4.9 million (£4m), which is a pretty tidy profit!

According to the listing, it sold in just nine days. 

It isn't difficult to see what drew Ryder to the historic home. Dating back to 1902, the Victorian pad is located atop one of the most coveted blocks in San Francisco, in one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in the city, Cow Hollow.

The three-level home offers 3,140 square feet of living space, as well as plenty of gorgeous period touches, such as timber fireplaces, large bay windows and hardwood floors.

The home has a light-filled entrance hall, a gorgeous living room and a combined kitchen and dining area. There are two bathrooms and three bedrooms, two of which come with outside decks, featuring sweeping views of the city, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Not too shabby!

The lower level of the home offers a laundry room, a garage and media room, which opens out to a small but beautiful backyard, complete with lush greenery, zen ornaments and a firepit. 

American actor Whoopi Goldberg is known and loved for her work in some of the most popular comedies and romantic dramas of all time. In the 90s, she starred in the likes of Ghost, Sister Act and The Lion King, gaining herself a reported fortune of $60 million (£48.5m). 

She is one of just 16 entertainers who have won the EGOT, which includes an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, an Academy Award and a Tony Award, making her one of the most decorated actors in history.

Built in the 1930s for Austrian author Vicki Baum, whose novel Grand Hotel earned her international acclaim, this charming historic home belonged to Whoopi Goldberg for almost 25 years.

She snapped it up in 1993 for $2.5 million, around $5.3 million (£4.3m) in today's money. The actor eventually waved the property goodbye in 2018, selling the luxurious estate with Compass for around $8.8 million (£7.1m). Let's take a closer look...

Situated in the prestigious Pacific Palisades neighbourhood of Los Angeles, the home spans 7,039 square feet and sits on over half an acre of land.

While the exterior is awash with gorgeous climbing ivy, the interior is dramatic and opulent – the perfect choice for a Hollywood VIP. Chic, bright and airy, the property boasts plenty of glazing and natural light, while every window looks onto the enchanting garden.

Inside, you'll find a gorgeous living room, a large kitchen that's fit for a celebrity chef, six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms. The interior blends modern design elements with original features, such as black and white checkered floors, crown mouldings and marble fireplaces.

The pad even has its very own vintage pub, where Goldberg no doubt hosted plenty of VIP friends over the years. Thanks to the home's elevated position, many of the rooms also provide views of the ocean.

Enclosed by lush landscaping and mature trees, the property also features an outdoor pool, a three-car garage and a separate guest house with its own entrance. The house also comes with 217 feet of frontage along the Palisades Riviera. Interestingly, the house changed hands two times in as many years.

After Goldberg sold the Art Deco pad, it was back on the market again in 2019, with a bumped-up asking price of $9.6 million (£7.8m).

Before he hit the big time, Bruce Willis was a TV actor, struggling to make the jump into the world of film. But in 1988, he landed the role that would make him, playing John McClane in the high-altitude action movie, Die Hard.

Since then he's gained a reputation for being the ultimate action hero and his biggest 90s movies include the likes of Armageddon, Pulp Fiction and The Sixth Sense. 

Before he retired in 2022, the star's films had grossed nearly $5.3 billion (£4.3bn), while his fortune is estimated at $250 million (£202m). 

Is it any wonder then that Willis has used his fortune to snap up some seriously gorgeous homes? And it doesn't get more luxe than this stunning property in Parrot Cay, on the Caribbean archipelago of Turks and Caicos.

The pristine island paradise not only benefits from a sprawling lot, a dazzling interior and plenty of VIP amenities, but also a picture-perfect private beach. Willis owned the estate for some 20 years, even marrying his wife Emma Hemming at the property in 2009.

The estate is formed from three separate homes totalling 36,000 square feet, with 12 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms in all. It was built in 2004, but underwent a full overhaul in 2020. Step inside the main house and you'll find a gorgeous modern interior with a calming colour palette of blues, whites and warm wood tones, a nod to the landscape outside.

Nearly all of the home's living spaces open up to the garden and offer mesmerising ocean vistas, thanks to floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. 

The remote celebrity home also boasts more than seven acres of land, which encompasses four swimming pools, 17,000 square feet of outdoor deck, sunbathing patios and direct beach access.

There are two guest villas, as well as a yoga pavilion, a huge children's playground and countless coconut, banana and papaya trees. Willis and Hemming renewed their vows at the property in 2019, before selling it for a cool $27 million (£21.8m).

The couple, along with their two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, still have a place to lay their heads, however. The pair bought their current home in Brentwood Park, LA for $9.8 million (£7.9m) in 2019 and Emma occasionally gives us glimpses inside on her Instagram, like this picture of the happy family outside their front door on Christmas Day 2020.

The 13,048-square-foot property, which overlooks Sunset Boulevard, has seven bedrooms and a light and sunny contemporary aesthetic, dotted with artworks by the couple’s two girls, seen here.

The couple previously sold their Manhattan penthouse for almost $18 million (£14.5m) and listed their New York estate for just shy of $13 million (£10.5m) in January 2019.

It seems like the family could be looking to slim down their portfolio following Bruce's retirement. In March 2022, he stepped away from the big screen, following his diagnosis with the degenerative condition aphasia, which impacts cognitive abilities. In February 2023, his wife revealed a new diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. The announcement triggered an outpouring of love from the action star's friends, former co-stars and fans.
