Classic European architecture defines this timeless and elegant home located on a favorite street in prime lower south Hillsborough. The creek-side gated grounds of more than one-half acre are introduced by ivy-covered walls, fountains, and a vast entertainment courtyard with fireplace, outdoor kitchen, and large spa. Architectural details such as hardwood and limestone floors in a parquet pattern, a palette of rich hues, and towering ceilings are complemented by brilliant light from expansive windows and glass doors overlooking the wooded setting. The floor plan is ever-so spacious with formal venues, a tremendous kitchen and family room combination, 5 bedrooms, 2 offices, a den or playroom, plus recreation and fitness area. Superior architectural details, a wonderfully functional floor plan for todays needs, and a location in a most prestigious community midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley this is indeed a very special place to call home.
