Built in 2018 in central Atherton, this exceptional home presents a sophisticated interpretation of timeless architecture with beautifully appointed interiors and an expansive, light-filled design. Striking Salado Quarry cladding adorns the exterior, while interiors are unified with chocolate-hued hardwood floors and beamed cathedral ceilings, creating a warm and refined atmosphere. Arranged on one convenient level with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, the floor plan features a formal dining room followed by a tremendous great room encompassing living and kitchen areas beneath a soaring beamed ceiling. Double sliding glass doors on two sides provide an easy connection to the wraparound gardens, and the beautifully appointed kitchen features extensive wood cabinetry, honed and leathered granite counters, and a large island with seating on three sides. More than one-half acre extends the living space outdoors with a covered and heated terrace designed for dining and media enjoyment, a large spa, and expansive lawn. Close to downtown Menlo Park, Stanford University, and Silicon Valley tech centers, the property combines privacy, generous outdoor space, and a superb single-level floor plan.
