State Sen. Bob Wirch has called for the sale or lease of the seven-bedroom, 13-bath classical revival mansion, arguing that the costs of upkeep are prohibitive — some $1 million over four years. This for a 34-room house which — homeowners in expensive cities like New York and San Francisco would be sad to learn -– is probably worth only a couple of million in the open market.
