10 Mount Vernon, Atherton
Contemporary Masterpiece
This is a contemporary statement like no other – a world-class destination that stands alone as a work of art, yet is eminently livable for a single, family, or multigenerational household. Significantly renovated throughout, the resulting transformation expresses modern ingenuity with symmetry and balance through spaces with a breathtaking connection to the grounds. Approaching the home on a grasscrete courtyard beside the graceful sway of bamboo, the design statement is immediately apparent. A flair for the dramatic unfolds inside where sightlines extend to the far reaches of the property across the shimmering waters of a pool and spa that vanish into the deck and lawn. Lighting fixtures stand alone as pieces of art, clear glass panels disappear along the open tread staircases, and espresso-hued hickory flooring unifies every room.
The three-level floor plan accounts for comfort and ease of livability – a theatre, steam shower, library and office options – all thoroughly impressive and state-of-the-art. There are six bedrooms, including a two-bedroom master suite and four additional bedroom suites each offering significant privacy. Discreetly positioned on almost one acre and gated on a non-through street, this home is located in the community Forbes Magazine ranks as the #1 most expensive zip code in the country. Outstanding public and private schools, proximity to Stanford University, venture capital centers, and an international airport, plus a midway location between San Francisco and Silicon Valley – an unrivaled place to call home..
