Graceful, elegant and inviting – all words that best describe this
impressive neoclassical villa in Atherton, California. Completed in
2007, the villa is the culmination of the current owners’ vision to
create a masterpiece in the neoclassical Georgian style with inspiration
from the Villa Kerylos, a recreation of an ancient Greek villa on the
French Riviera. Architectural firm Andrew Skurman Architects worked
alongside Plath & Co. General Contractors and Tucker & Marks,
Inc. to bring the vision to life. Local and international artisans were
assembled to create a world touched by beauty at every turn. Floors
handset in Italy in intricately designed mosaics introduce many of the
rooms with complete individuality, ceilings and doorways are sculpted
with elaborate pediments and friezes, and French doors open from every
room onto the gardens. Hand painted on-site by Sergey Konstantinov Art
Studio, the dining room mural sets a dramatic scene. Grand-scale formal
rooms evoke visions of lively social gatherings that can easily extend
into the intimacy of the tremendous library, which doubles as a media
and family room A vast loggia and terrace provide a wonderful space
that seamlessly connects the indoors to the glorious grounds. Interior
design firm, Tucker & Marks, Inc., describe the project as an
exercise in building beautiful forms and volumes, enhancing them with
architectural details and moulding, and using custom furnishings,
colours, paints, and textiles to make the interiors of this formal house
approachable and intimate. There is more than 12,000 square feet of
space with six bedrooms, each with en suite bath, plus four half baths, a
cabana bath and full guest house with optional versatility for
executive offices and fitness needs. Completing this masterpiece is the
privacy and formality of the grounds that unfold over 1.5 acres,
landscaped by Elizabeth Everdell Garden Design, with a sparkling pool,
parterre gardens, and strolling paths that invite quiet contemplation or
grand entertaining. It was once on the market as much as $45,000,000
and is last recorded selling in August of 2013 for $30,300,000.
