241 Polhemus Avenue, Atherton | $24,998,000
A grand Atherton estate on nearly 1.5 acres of resort-like grounds
241 Polhemus Avenue
Set on approximately 1.45 level acres in the heart of West Atherton, this extraordinary estate is a rare offering of architectural beauty, historic pedigree, and modern sophistication. Originally crafted in 1922 and transformed through an extensive renovation and expansion in 2001, the residence blends Old‑World artistry with the scale, comfort, and amenities expected in one of Silicon Valley’s most prestigious neighborhoods.
From the moment you arrive, the home reveals its heritage through sculptural columns, carved stone fireplaces, and gracefully arched windows that frame the grounds. Inside the main home, more than 11,000 square feet of living space unfolds across three levels, unified by herringbone and parquet wood floors, intricate millwork, and grandly proportioned rooms designed for both lavish entertaining and refined everyday living.
The amenities are exceptional: a primary suite of exceptional sophistication with dual dressing rooms, steam room and gym, a European‑inspired wine cellar with tasting room, a 10‑seat theater, and a richly paneled library adjoining a billiards room with pub‑style bar. A rare 12‑car underground garage spanning over 3,700 square feet—finished to the standard of a private showroom—anchors the home’s remarkable infrastructure.
Accommodations include six bedroom suites in the main residence and a beautifully appointed two‑bedroom guest house plus a dedicated office, ideal for extended stays or multigenerational living. Outdoors, the property lives as a private resort, featuring a sunlit pool framed by Canary palms, a separate in-ground spa, an outdoor kitchen, a parterre rose garden, and sweeping lawns shaded by towering trees.
Moments from top schools, Stanford University, and the Peninsula’s most coveted destinations, this estate represents a singular opportunity to own a timeless architectural treasure in Atherton’s most sought‑after location.
