Description
Set on a flat corner lot in one of Atherton’s most scenic blocks, this Euro-Mediterranean estate sits on 1.12 acres surrounded by mature trees and luxury resort-style landscaping. Designed by John Stewart, this legacy home’s prized layout is not only practical yet impressive, with soaring ceilings to bring in natural light, thoughtful integration with the outdoors, and a seamless flow between all living areas to create a harmonious lifestyle. Sophisticated architectural details will impress you upon arrival, including tall columns at the entry, a striking two-story foyer with marble and travertine floors, and a crystal chandelier. Upstairs, five bedrooms gather in a private wing anchored by a primary suite with his & hers walk-in closets and a sauna. A sixth bedroom sits on the main-level for in-laws or an au-pair. Adjacent is the sunbathed family room with 20+ feet ceilings, skylights, and wraparound access to the majestic outdoors. Five of the seven bathrooms have been fully renovated with new cabinetry, tile, and fixtures. Other notable upgrades include new hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, new garage doors, freshly epoxied garage floors, and renewed landscaping. A detached guest house adds even more space with its own open living/dining room, kitchenette, bedroom, and bath. Grounds include a pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen pavilion with built-in grill and sink, fire pit, two fountains, a pond, a bocce court, 4-car garage with gated motor court, and solid wrought-iron gates and wooden fence structures around the perimeter of the property which all combine to provide the ultimate private oasis.

More About West of Alameda
Tucked into the rolling terrain just west of Alameda de las Pulgas and bordered by Woodside and Portola Valley, West of Alameda is one of Atherton’s most secluded and sought-after enclaves. Its sloped, semi-rural setting creates an added sense of privacy and separation from neighbors.
Discretion is the neighborhood’s calling card. Properties often sell quietly or off-market, keeping transactions and ownership details out of public listings and press. The area has also attracted notable figures, including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, whose longtime compound off Walsh Road was profiled when it went on the market.
For buyers, the appeal is clear: estate-level privacy, scenic hillside living, and a low-profile setting within 15 minutes of Stanford, Sand Hill Road, and Silicon Valley’s core.
