Regally situated atop a 1.178-acre gated corner lot, this magnificent custom designer three-story Mediterranean estate is in the old grounds of the historical Tobin Clark family estate. It is the Southernmost region of Hillsborough and offers easy access to San Mateo’s vibrant downtown shopping and dining, parks and major travel routes.
Remodeled by the world-renowned Italian architect & designer, Giorgio Saporiti of Il Loft - Tiempo Interiors, the home, which features a traditional facade features a highly contemporary interior with an eclectic collection of textures & colors, and a range of high-end materials that is blended together in perfect harmony. The wonderful mix and use of the textures and materials include burl wood, custom glass & tiling, granite, marble, cherry wood flooring, Italian cabinetry and Venetian plastered walls. Furthermore, the home has been equipped with a Creston home automation system.
Handmade fused designer glass lighting, found throughout the home, and custom wrap-around staircase with stainless-steel rails covered with textured architectural glass welcomes you in the grand foyer. All custom glass lighting can be electronically lowered for cleaning.
An exotic burl-wood door frame with matching textured glass, the same glass found on the staircase leads you to the formal living room that is highlighted by an impressive fireplace surrounded by cascading layers of large Azul Imperial granite slabs. The living room also features a Murano Hand Blow Glass chandelier by well-known Italian designer Carlo Moretti.
Like the one found in the living room, the formal dining room also features another striking Murano Hand Blown Glass chandelier. The room also has tray ceilings, a mix of cherry wood and Murano glass & tile flooring and large French doors that lead to the balcony overlooking the backyard.
Using granite, marble, custom lighting and cabinetry, the large and open kitchen was designed for the professional chef in mind. It features cabinets from Downsview®, premium built-in stainless-steel appliances including full-sized refrigerator and freezer from Sub-Zero®, Thermador® microwave, Miele® espresso & coffee machine, gas cooktop and hood, and a double wall oven that is all surrounded by beautiful granite countertops. Both the breakfast bar and breakfast nook have custom Murano glass chandelier by Moretti. Finally, the large marble center island in the kitchen offers a Miele® electric cooktop with a Viking® pop-up downdraft exhaust ventilation.
Sharing the same space as the kitchen, the family room has custom wall mounted entertainment & media center with floating shelves and drawers that blend into television and fireplace. This space, along with the large wet bar perfect for entertaining after dinner, was also custom designed by Saporiti.
