Adapting the refinement of a traditional English country house to California’s relaxed lifestyle, this exquisite new residence incorporates exceptional natural materials and state-of-the-art systems.

• Extensive use of elegant stonework, walnut flooring, splendid cabinetry, expansive windows, spectacular lighting and intricate millwork throughout the home

• Epicurean kitchen with top appliances, slab limestone and marble countertops, butler’s pantry and breakfast area with day desk

• Essential systems include an elevator, CAT-5e wiring, integrated audio system, home theater equipment, alarm system, emergency generator and three zones of forced air heating/air conditioning

• Located in the acclaimed Menlo Park City School District

Main Level

The stucco facade offers the first hint of the home’s skillful architectural detailing when viewed through the stone-clad plinths of the motorized entrance gates. In the English Revival vernacular, the simplicity of the exterior lines is subtly reinforced by a unique copper gutter system and the meticulous stonework surrounding many of the windows.

Showcasing a sweeping staircase that joins all three levels, the spectacular center hall makes a bold first impression with opulent woodwork and sophisticated lighting. Polished walnut flooring laid in a herringbone pattern provides a discreet counterpoint to the intricately paneled wainscoting.

The elegant living room’s focal point is a gas fireplace with an impressive limestone mantel flanked by two sets of French doors opening to a covered terrace. Two classic bell-shaped pendants with cut glass urns emphasize the height of the box-beam ceiling. Wall sconces, fluid crown moldings and the view of the manicured grounds through the broad picture window enhance the formality of this impressive space.

The library is reminiscent of an Edwardian club with extravagant alder woodwork and traditional domed sconces. A set of French doors look out on a charming terrace and provide a private entrance.

The barrel-vaulted vestibule connecting the library to the center hall also opens to a refined powder room, where Carrera marble has been beautifully integrated in the tilework.

On the other side of the entrance hall, the light-filled dining room provides the perfect setting for holiday celebrations and important dinners. The room’s rich millwork continues beneath a broad bay window, which has slender sidelights containing artisan crafted leaded glass panels. A door on the far wall leads to the butler’s pantry and kitchen.

The kitchen’s premium appliances, multifunctional cabinetry, generous island and lustrous stone and tile work will meet the needs of the busiest household. The honed Calcutta Gold marble slabs used for the island countertop shine against the island’s knotty alder grain. In contrast, the kitchen’s perimeter cabinetry has a glazed finish that harmonizes with the honed St. Mark limestone slab countertops. The outstanding cabinetry contains pullout wicker bins, adjustable shelving, a spice rack, day desk and china hutch. The professional grade appliances include:

• Viking Professional Series 60” six-burner range with grill and griddle in Graphite Gray

• Viking Professional Series 60” hood

• Sharp Insight Pro microwave drawer oven• Viking Professional Series 30” refrigerator • Viking Professional Series 30” freezer • U-Line beverage center• ISE InstaHot water dispenser• Three Bosch dishwashers, one of which is in the butler’s pantry • U-Line Echelon under-counter refrigerator in the butler’s pantry• Viking Professional 36” warming drawer in the butler’s pantry

The rich palette of finishes continues in the neighboring breakfast area and family room. French doors fill the rear walls of both spaces and open to a walkway overlooking a spectacular four-tiered fountain cascading into a secluded courtyard below. The welcoming family room is defined by a sumptuous fireplace with a hand-etched tile mosaic surround, set in a wall of knotty alder cabinetry that has been prewired to accommodate entertainment equipment. A charming trompe l’oeil rendering of an antique elevator door enhances the entrance to the home’s ThyssenKrupp elevator in one corner.

A natural stopping point for returning family members, the mud room has both a powder room and a built-in bench with beadboard paneling, coat hooks, cubbyholes and electrical outlets to charge portable electronic equipment. A French door provides access to the garage via a breezeway.

Upper Level

Conceived as a serene retreat, the spacious master suite is composed of a sitting room, large bedroom, private balcony, two walk-in closets and a luxurious bathroom. The walk-in closets offer extensive storage systems that feature display cabinets.

The centerpiece of the master bathroom is an inviting Jetta whirlpool tub set in a honed Carrera marble slab beneath a hand-glazed barrel-vaulted ceiling. The amazing shower has an AMREC steam unit, frameless glass enclosure, rain-style shower head and body sprays. A towel warmer is conveniently mounted just outside the door. The furniture-style vanities have display shelves and elongated drawers topped by slab marble countertops with hutch style backsplashes and coordinating mirrors. Other exceptional features include a Sharp flat panel television, radiant heat system, honed Carrera marble floor tiles and a separate water closet.

There are three additional bedrooms on this level, one of which is a private suite. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom in a Jack-and-Jill configuration. The closets in all secondary bedrooms have been fitted with organizing systems.

The home’s primary laundry room is also located off the bedroom hallway. It contains built-in cabinetry, an extra-deep Kohler laundry sink, limestone tile and LG Tromm’s super capacity, front-loading washer and dryer.

Lower Level

The lower level provides a wonderful space for entertaining that is set apart from the home’s other living spaces. A prominent set of arched French doors inset with wrought-iron panels frame the entrance to a barrel- vaulted wine cellar. This discriminating space has unique cabinetry set into four niches that will house hundreds of bottles of wine in a temperature controlled environment.

The incomparable recreation room is a light-filled space featuring a broad set of sliding French doors that afford a private entrance for this level from the marvelous lower terrace containing a multi-tiered water feature. An elongated wet bar has been designed to function as a secondary kitchen with rich alder cabinetry, travertine slab countertops, and the following appliances:

• Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawer• U-Line undercounter refrigerator with icemaker• GE Profile microwave

In the style of a classic movie cinema, the acoustically engineered theater is appointed with special wall-to-wall carpeting on all three levels and a bow-front stage framing the screen. Behind a red velvet curtain on the rear wall is the following audio/visual equipment:

• Draper Clarion wall mounted video screen • Epson Powerlite Pro Cinema 1080P Video Projector• Bowers & Wilkins surround sound speakers with 200-

watt subwoofer• Pioneer Elite Surround Sound Receiver • Sony Blu-Ray DVD player• Aeros custom programmed remote

The two bedroom suites on this level both have wall-to-wall carpeting, tray ceilings, generous closets and tall windows. With interior French doors opening off the recreation room, one suite has been staged as a workout room.

The property’s third powder room is a delightful space that features multihued limestone tile cut in a harlequin pattern. An artisan-crafted tile capping the wainscoting is inlaid with a scrolling detail inspired by the wine cellar.

A secondary laundry room has additional cabinetry and another high-efficiency washer and dryer by LG.

The Grounds

The grounds have been landscaped to provide intimate settings for each of the home’s enticing terraces. These terraces, as well as many of the walkways and the borders for the flower beds and driveway, are clad with Connecticut bluestone. Both the living room terrace and the lower level have been wired to accommodate speakers for the integrated audio system.

Stately urns, a five-foot tall fountain, curved bench and landscape lighting are just a few of the other wonderful surprises found on the grounds. The rear lawn is more than one hundred and fifty feet wide. The three-bay garage is serviced by a crushed granite driveway leading to a large motor court. Other Features
