Description
This expansive estate is an architectural gem designed by Cliff May, the acclaimed architect renowned as the father of the California ranch home and the visionary behind the Robert Mondavi winery. His homes are rare in northern California and this one personifies his design aesthetics, emphasizing a one-level floor plan geared towards embracing sunshine and fostering informal indoor/outdoor living. This unique estate combines mid-century modern and Spanish hacienda styles. The home features Mays distinctive design elements: numerous cathedral ceilings made of exposed grape stake with open beams and a ridge skylight running the length of the room; Saltillo tile floors throughout, which seamlessly extend into the central courtyard around which the floor plan revolves. The main home spans more than 8,000 square feet and includes a magnificent executive office and adjoining recreation room ideal for large gatherings. There is a fully equipped guest house and a separately fenced pool with a spacious pool house and outdoor kitchen. Completing this remarkable and private gated setting of nearly 2 acres are a golf practice area plus expansive terraces and decks with western hill views. Located on the west side of Atherton with access to excellent Las Lomitas schools.
