Description

Bordering prestigious Atherton, this Mediterranean-inspired custom estate offers dramatic design and soaring scale on a ~10k sq ft lot. Rebuilt in 1998, it blends architectural brilliance with emotional impact and enduring sophistication. At its core is a double-height atrium living room, lit by custom skylights and framed by sculptural columns, with a rare structural span anchoring the homes layout. One axis flows through the formal living area, dual-sided fireplace, sunken family lounge, elegant dining room, and out to the entertainers backyard. The other connects a chefs granite kitchen to a private guest suite and retreat, all arranged with striking symmetry. Two distinct staircases rise from either side of the atrium, one to the secluded primary suite with sitting area, marble spa bath, and walk-in closet; the other to two guest bedrooms and a media/office with balcony views. A gallery-like ~30' high ceiling loft connects both wings, uniting privacy with architectural grace. Outside, enjoy a lushly landscaped backyard with pool, sun deck, lawn, and a greenhouse for year-round gardening. With multi-zone HVAC, extra wine storage, and a two-car garage, this is a rare blend of scale and soul, an architecturally significant home near Stanford and major tech hubs.
