About This Home

As of June 2021

French Country Villa in a Resort-Like Setting. Surrounded by exquisite gardens on more than one acre, this sumptuous home presents luxurious 5-star living at its best. Built in 2003, and recently and extensively remodeled, the home is magnificently appointed with sophisticated style and designer elegance. Hand-hewn walnut floors extend throughout the main living areas, graceful arches define the windows and French doors, and dramatic ceiling heights showcase dazzling light fixtures. The two-level floor plan has 5 bedrooms plus a library/office, a second small office, and dedicated distance learning center. Equally impressive are the grounds with a profusion of English gardens and level lawn, a sparkling pool and spa, and verdant views in every direction from the slightly elevated setting. Adding the finishing touch to this incredible property is its close-in location just over one mile to the Village and with access to top-rated Palo Alto schools.
