Unparalleled luxury awaits at this prestigious home in lower Hillsborough. Built in 2006, the exceptionally crafted two-level residence has been updated by the current owner to include cutting-edge technical amenities, including built-in sound and video systems, plus a stunning limestone entertainment piazza. Presenting traditional formality and fine attention to detail, the interior boasts lofty volume ceilings with richly embellished moldings, textured hand-finished plaster walls, and gleaming sweeps of pecan hardwood flooring with an inlaid mahogany feature strip. A graceful staircase in the foyer with a hand-forged wrought iron railing sets the stage for the elegant formal rooms, which boast stunning architectural pieces including a manorial fireplace with custom mantelpiece and an elaborate ceiling medallion in the dining room. The gracious floor plan has numerous French doors that open to the front and rear entertainment terraces, promoting a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow that is central to the relaxed California lifestyle. Nicely complementing the light-filled public spaces is a refined wood-paneled library with fireplace. All of this is easily catered by a professionally equipped kitchen with restaurant-quality appliances and a sun-swept breakfast room.

The personal accommodations are comprised of 5 bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, as well as 2 half-baths. Highlighting the upper level is the sumptuous master suite, which is replete with a fireplace, dressing room, private balcony, and spa-inspired bathroom. Ideal for guests or staff is a main-level bedroom suite, while three additional bedroom suites on the upper level offer comfortable retreats for family members.

Outside, no expense has been spared in creating the ultimate al fresco venue. The vast rear limestone terrace begins with a heated, pergola-shaded sitting area, then continues to a magnificent fireplace flanked by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and barbecue station. Beyond the terrace are expanses of lush, croquet-worthy lawn, all surrounded by mature fruit trees and tall perimeter foliage that combine for a true sense of seclusion. Adding to the feeling of living at a resort is a sparkling swimming pool with a triple waterfall feature and a soothing spa. Rounding out the appeal of this remarkable property is its easy access to major commute routes and close proximity to upscale amenities in Burlingame or San Mateo.
