Rare opportunity to own one of the largest parcels of land, 47+ acres, on the San Francisco Peninsula with sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and City skyline. This legacy property, circa 1912, has been transformed for today with renovations throughout, including a fully restored and expanded 5-star kitchen with space for a personal chef, the grand living room with restored windows & doors, a library with leather walls & fireplace, bathroom updates, and a new option created for a second primary suite. The dining room and music room can now be combined into one space with a hydraulic lift wall that disappears when needed. Behind the scenes, upgrades to infrastructure include fiber optic cable under the driveway, high end security system, interior sound system and restoration to several of-the-era features. Just 15 minutes to SFO international airport & private jet center. Reservoir on the property for landscape irrigation. Excellent public and private schools.
