About This Home
As of October 2024This opulent mansion stands as a veritable icon in Lower South Hillsborough, meticulously crafted as a homage to the White House by the esteemed architect Julia Morgan. Spanning over 24,000 square feet across four levels, it has been thoughtfully rejuvenated with the finest fixtures and state-of-the-art appliances. With its Neoclassical Georgian architecture, the home greets you with majestic columns and an impeccably laid driveway, the facade exuding grandeur. Inside, an abundance of windows and soaring ceilings invite the warmth of California's sun, bathing each room in natural light. Timeless accents such as intricate crown molding, resplendent wood floors, and dazzling chandeliers seamlessly marry with contemporary elements and sleek lines, epitomizing sophistication. Ascend to the primary bedroom, where a regal fireplace, a tranquil sitting area, and an opulent ensuite bathroom await, adorned with dual sinks, a sumptuous soaking tub, and a separate shower. A sanctuary for productivity, the home office boasts two-toned wood paneling and an imposing desk. Nestled upon nearly three acres of verdant grounds, the Bay Area's 'Western White House' is a testament to refined living and illustrious entertaining.
