About This Home
Graceful single-level estate in Atherton's coveted Lindenwood, blending East Coast Nantucket-inspired elegance with California ease. Built in 2012 & designed by Bob Glazier, this refined home exudes quiet sophistication: shingle exterior, crisp white millwork & balanced symmetry. The home is grounded & deliberate, allowing the architecture to settle naturally into the landscape. Inside, open-concept, light-filled interiors showcase soaring tray/coffered ceilings, a soft palette & rich oak floors, delivering warmth & timeless appeal. Offering four bedroom suites & two half-baths, the home is designed for effortless everyday living & elevated entertaining. A chef's kitchen w/top-end appliances, travertine counters & island anchors the home. Expansive windows/doors blur indoor-outdoor living, opening to a terrace w/fireplace & composed pool/spa. Set on nearly an acre, the whimsical grounds are curated yet effortless: boxwood hedges, hydrangeas, crepe myrtle, mature oaks & layered gardens offering privacy & serenity. An exquisite 1-bed guest house & 3-car garage add flexibility & convenience. A home of lineage & restraint. Where every line, material & proportion feels considered, measured & enduring. Elegant without excess. Refined without rigidity. Sophistication without compromise.
