Set on a flat corner lot in one of Atherton's most scenic blocks, this majestic Mediterranean estate sits on 1.2 acres surrounded by mature trees and luxury resort-style landscaping. Designed by John Stewart, the home's prized layout is practical yet impressive with soaring ceilings to bring in natural light, thoughtful indoor/outdoor integration, and a seamless flow between all living areas to create a harmonious lifestyle. Sophisticated architectural details will impress you upon arrival, including tall columns at the entry and a striking two-story foyer with marble and travertine floors. The living level is spacious and commands attention, with a gorgeous wood paneled library, stately formal living and dining rooms, and marble wood burning fireplaces grounding each area. Upstairs, four ensuite bedrooms gather in a private wing anchored by a primary suite with his & hers walk-in closets and a sauna. Both levels have their own dedicated laundry rooms for easy daily use. A fifth bedroom sits on the main-level for in-laws or an au-pair. Adjacent is the sunbathed family room with 20+ feet ceilings, skylights, and direct access to the unbelievable grounds. Many of the bathrooms have been fully renovated with new cabinetry, tile, and fixtures. Other notable upgrades include new hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, new garage doors, freshly epoxied garage floors, and renewed landscaping. A detached guest house adds even more space with its own open living/dining room, kitchenette, bedroom, and bath. Grounds include a pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen pavilion with built-in grill and sink, fire pit, two fountains, a bocce court, 4-car garage with gated motor court, and solid wrought-iron gates & wooden fences surrounding the perimeter of this private paradise. Just minutes from Sand Hill Road, Stanford, and downtown Menlo Park as well as access to the best schools in the country!
