Set on approximately 1.88 level acres, with vast open space and mature perimeter trees, is this European manor with contemporary touches. The two-story home presents a traditional floor plan with formal and everyday living spaces on the main level along with an executive library, plus 5 bedrooms and a second family room on the upper level. Additional rooms on each level offer flexible use for office, fitness, and hobby needs, and many rooms open to terraces or balconies. The entire ambiance is open and bright with ceiling heights reaching almost 24 feet and walls and lighting designed for display of fine art.

The grounds are equally beautiful with a sparkling pool and spa, bocce court, and one-bedroom guest house that doubles as a poolside entertaining venue. Located on a premier street in central Atherton, the most expensive ZIP code in America per Forbes magazine, this estate is close to Stanford University, Silicon Valley tech and venture capital centers, as well as two international airports.
