Owned by just three families, this home’s early beginnings, circa 1935, were influenced by the original owner’s French heritage. Classic window shutters and a full-circle driveway exemplify the European style while many heritage amenities inside blend in beautifully with numerous updates. The home’s location, just one mile to the prestigious Menlo Circus Club, is deemed one of Atherton’s finest streets and offers a setting of abundant privacy with a gated entrance and sparkling pool. The 4-bedroom main residence is complemented by a 1-bedroom guest house built in 2007 and doubling as a poolside recreation venue complete with heated loggia and outdoor kitchen.

Offered at $6,800,000
