Just completed, this home presents timeless, classic design with clean lines and sophisticated, contemporary interiors. Built on approximately one acre on a corner lot behind a custom-designed cedar fence, this home offers abundant privacy and is just over one-half mile from the prestigious Menlo Circus Club. The three-level main residence has 5 bedrooms, an office, 6 full baths, and 2 half-baths, plus a pool cabana with full bath. Distinctive attributes include a dedicated theater, wine storage, fitness center with bath (or possible 6th bedroom suite), and family game room with expansive island bar. 

The craftsmanship showcases the finest materials, creating a calm, organic ambiance with natural stone accents outside, rift-sawn white oak floors inside, fine marble and stone interiors, uniquely appointed bathrooms, four fireplaces, rift-sawn white oak cabinetry in the kitchen and family room, and top-of-the-line multimedia capability throughout. Adding designer panache are selected silk wallcoverings by Phillip Jeffries, as well as exceptional custom lighting. Vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows and fully retractable walls of stacking glass doors fill the home with light. Equally impressive are the professionally landscaped grounds with required WELO certification for water conservation, along with a pool and covered loggia adjoining the cabana. 

Thoroughly impressive, this property is located in the community that Forbes ranks as the #1 most expensive ZIP code in the country. Its proximity to Stanford University, venture capital centers, and an international airport, and its midway location between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, make this an unrivaled and worldly place to call home.
