Privately positioned on 1.06 acres, this magnificent property was built for the current owners in 2005 by renowned builder Pacific Peninsula Group. The timeless, traditional appeal, with interior design by Bob Miller, spans three levels, all connected by elevator. The rooms are grand in size including refined formal rooms with disappearing walls of glass to the loggia, a two-story library, tremendous family room and kitchen ensemble, plus recreation room, theatre, music room, fitness center, spa bath, and outstanding wine cellar. The main home comprises 6 bedrooms, each with en suite bath, plus there is a separate 1-bedroom guest house. The formal grounds evoke a resort-like atmosphere with pool, spa, barbecue kitchen, and fire pit terrace all encircled by a path winding past vast lawn and secret gardens. Located in Atherton’s most exclusive neighborhood, the Menlo Circus Club, this home is close to Stanford University, renowned public and private schools, and Sand Hill Road, the home of the venture capital community.  Silicon Valley tech centers are just a short drive away and San Francisco or San Jose International Airports are just 25 minutes away.
