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 June 16 to July 11 that was made public the week of Aug. 4.
Of particular interest this week … A custom-built home in Central Atherton designed in 2002 to reflect the grandeur of the historic, early-Renaissance villas that dot the Italian countryside, sold for $29 million. The approximately 9,415-square-foot, two-level residence features five-bedroom suites with spa-inspired bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen with a butler’s pantry, a wine cellar, two offices, a sunken living room and a dining room designed for grand-scale entertaining. The multi-room primary suite includes a fireplace and private sitting areas. The property comes with a three-car garage and a secondary two-car garage with a workshop, a tennis court, fenced dog run, a two-bedroom guesthouse and a cabana with a fireplace and indoor kitchen that overlooks the pool and spa. The property ranked No. 7 on Realtor.com’s Top 10 most-expensive listings in the nation when it hit the market in April.
