102 Selby Lane, Atherton

This Atherton estate presents absolute symmetry in design with timeless elegance and classic finishes throughout, all inspired by Georgian Colonial architecture. On more than one acre of privacy, with dual gated entrances, the estate’s undeniable allure begins with its signature front portico and perfectly manicured landscaping predominantly in a palette of green and white. Inside, beautiful appointments include refined millwork, hardwood floors, and hand-selected marble in every bathroom. Tall ceilings and wide passageways enhance the spacious dimensions that span two levels with grand formal rooms for entertaining, a chef’s kitchen, adjoining family room with full bar, and cherry-paneled library for work-from-home. There are 5 bedrooms, including a main-level suite, plus a studio guest house. The outdoor venues include a pool and spa, vast lawn, expansive terraces in hand-selected Connecticut bluestone, as well as a cabana with barbecue center and fireplace – everything needed for the quintessential California lifestyle.
