Each week, Embarcadero Media takes a look at home sales activity along the Midpeninsula in the communities of Atherton, East Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Portola Valley and Woodside. Home sales are provided by California Resource, a real estate information company that obtains the information from counties’ recorder’s offices. Information is recorded from deeds after the close of escrow and published within four to eight weeks. Here’s a look at home sales activity between Oct. 28 and Nov. 22 that was made public the week of Dec. 16.
Of particular interest this week … A 97-year-old villa built by iconic Palo Alto architect Birge Clark, whose work defined the burgeoning city’s Early California style, sold for $13.8 million in Palo Alto’s Crescent Park neighborhood. The villa, which underwent a three-year remodel in the early 2000s to modernize and perserve the property, had been listed on and off the market for the past 11 years before it sold on Nov. 22.
With its red-tiled roof, stucco walls, arches and wrought iron details, the three-level villa has many of the features one would expect in a home designed by Clark.
The home sits on a half acre and includes seven fireplaces, an elevator, five en suite bedrooms, a separate one-bedroom guest house, a library, wine storage for approximately 900 bottles, a recreation room with a bar, and a pool with glass mosaics inspired by Hearst Castle.
