Zynga CEO Mark Pincus’ New San Fran Address

Though Zynga’s stock price may have taken a hit as of late, its CEO Mark Pincus is moving up in the rarified real estate world of San Francisco. The native Chicagoan just bought Jane Newhall’s old mansion, an elegantly plush New England-style home that overlooks San Francisco’s fairest-of-the-fair Bay, as well as the Golden Gate Bridge. The home had never been listed before. Jane Newhall died last July and left her house to her church, which then put the house on sale.

The commodious house comprises 11,500 square feet, which should make it exceedingly comfy for Pincus’ family, which includes his wife and young children. The home is lined in warm, polished wood throughout — literally wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Though it has an unassuming exterior, there’s no mistaking the home’s lavish detailing and Pincus had to pay $16 million to acquire it. It’s being reported by the Wall Street Journal that Pincus sold other Bay Area properties before buying the Newhall house.

Although a Newhall will no longer reside inside the home, it will continue to house a “technologist,” since Jane Newhall herself was a chemistry graduate from Mills College, in Oakland, and had a decade-long stint as a researcher at the Shell Oil Company.
