53 Magnolia Drive, Atherton
East Coast Manor in Desirable Lindenwood
Completed in 2001 with additional recent renovations, this custom home is a masterpiece of East Coast-influenced architecture – from the signature wraparound front porch to the perfect symmetry of the shuttered windows. The home’s grandeur begins with the magnificent curb appeal and continues inside where beautiful appointments include hardwood flooring throughout, European stone selections, and architectural columns. Tall ceilings and wide passageways enhance the spacious dimensions of approximately 4,400 square feet. Equally impressive is the private setting as the property is discretely situated away from the road at the end of a cul-de-sac with a gated entrance. This estate is surrounded by verdant shade and sun gardens, crushed stone paths, manicured landscaping plus a vast limestone terrace ideal for entertaining. Located in the heart of desirable Lindenwood on approximately one acre, this home benefits from acclaimed Menlo Park schools.
