Evoking the timeless character of a European manor - with its ivy-covered façade, towering chimneys and classic shutters - this treasured Hillsborough estate presents all the glamour of its 1926 heritage blended with beautiful updates for 21st century living. Introduced by custom old-world iron gates, the stately proportions of the main residence are complemented by a fabulous two-story guest house and pool completed just one year ago. The sun-swept setting is privately positioned beyond exquisite formal gardens where a vast stretch of level lawn and spacious terrace beckon outdoor entertaining on a grand scale.

Desirably located in north Hillsborough, the gated property offers a discrete position from the road. Inside, the immediate impression is one of classic elegance with the use of rich hardwoods, detailed moldings, true divided light windows and French doors that span from floor to ceiling filling the rooms with natural light and views of the impressive surroundings. A sequence of living areas accommodates lavish formality, entertaining and catering needs, as well as day-to-day family living revolving around a superb chef's kitchen and adjacent family room. Four fireplaces, period authentic lighting and a sommelier-worthy wine cellar enhance the timeless ambiance while a distributed whole-home audio system, state-of-the-art wiring and luxurious bathrooms add modern functionality. The home's personal accommodations, traditionally arranged on the upper level in two distinct wings, are augmented by a flexible sixth bedroom on the lower-most level - perfect for an au pair or owner's home office. Rounding out the appeal of this grand estate is the overall setting on almost two and one-half acres that offers the ultimate in privacy yet the sought-after convenience of being close to Burlingame's fine shopping and dining.
