Privately set on 1.06 acres in the Menlo Circus Club area, this magnificent estate was built in 2005 by renowned builder Pacific Peninsula Group. Spanning three levels with elevator, the rooms are all grand with refined formal rooms, a dramatic two-story library, expansive family room and remodeled kitchen, recreation room, theatre, music room, fitness center with sauna and steam, plus an exceptional wine cellar. The main home has 6 bedroom suites – 5 upstairs and 1 on the main level – along with a spa bath, 3 half-baths, and a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest house. Resort-inspired grounds unfold with a pool, spa, and barbecue kitchen, while extraordinary gardens provide year-round color, meandering paths, and secluded areas for relaxation. Eight vegetable beds, a large greenhouse, chicken coop, and picnic area support a true farm-to-table lifestyle. Located in one of Atherton’s most exclusive neighborhoods, this property is moments from Stanford University, top public and private schools, Sand Hill Road venture capital firms, leading Silicon Valley tech campuses, and approximately 25 minutes from San Francisco and San Jose International Airports.
