Located behind double gates on a premier Atherton street, this home exudes classic and timeless estate living. The grand residence is freshly painted in a soft neutral palette ready for any personal style of belongings. Travertine floors add European elegance in the formal rooms while reclaimed barn wood finishes the floors in the spacious kitchen and family room. A customized wine cellar awaits any fine collection, and a library, dedicated office, and upstairs learning center are perfect for today’s lifestyle. There are 5 spacious bedrooms arranged over two levels plus a fitness center and adjacent bath that could serve as an additional bedroom, if desired. Adding to the accommodations is a large 1-bedroom guest house with full kitchen that doubles as a wonderful pool-side entertainment venue. Tying it all together are landscaped grounds and vast terraces in complete privacy on approximately one acre with pool and spa. Just minutes away is five-star dining plus Sand Hill Road venture capital centers, excellent Menlo Park schools, and Stanford University.
