This remarkable new estate is a testament to masterful craftsmanship, with a design that encapsulates contemporary living, open spaces, outdoor views, unique architectural features and one-of-a-kind interior finishes.  Over 11,000 square feet of living space is set on 1.05 level acres of fully landscaped grounds on one of Atherton’s quietest streets. Every element has been meticulously curated. The finest hand-stained rift-sawn white oak floors and cabinetry are often accentuated with exquisite wall coverings by Phillip Jeffries. Tile and stone were imported from Italy, including fireplace surrounds and countertops in Dolomite, Acero, limestone and Carrara marble.  Each bathroom is uniquely designed with its own distinctive appearance, some featuring individually hand-set mosaics. Lighting throughout is nothing short of exceptional, with large windows for natural lighting and many custom-made fixtures precisely positioned to enhance every space and motif. Served by an elevator to all three levels, as well as an open three-story glass-framed staircase, with full views to the generously landscaped back, pool and spa, the home begins on the main level with formal living and dining rooms that flow into a tremendous great room with retractable glass walls opening to a loggia, plus a stunning kitchen. The main level also boasts a dedicated library/office and a private guest suite. The lower level is designed for family recreation and gracious entertaining, complete with an expansive living area, wine cellar, bar, theater, gym and en suite bath or a 6th bedroom suite. Upstairs, four bedroom suites include the luxurious primary suite with couture closets and a spa-like bath.  The upper hallway includes a lounge area that overlooks the meticulously landscaped front. Adding to the accommodations, a fully appointed one-bedroom, one-bath Accessory Dwelling Unit provides additional flexibility and ample space for comfortable full-time living. Outdoor amenities include a large pool, spa, loggia with fireplace, and barbecue center, creating a resort-like experience. This home is also entirely solar-powered, with the latest in cutting-edge audio-video technology, reflecting a commitment to modern efficiency without compromise. Thoroughly impressive, this property is located in the community that Forbes magazine ranks as the #1 most expensive ZIP code in the country. Its proximity to Stanford University, venture capital centers, three international airports, and its midway location between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, make this an unrivaled and worldly place to call home.
