About this property
After the turn of the century and the San Francisco earthquake, wealthy families commissioned new estates in Hillsborough and moved to the sunny Peninsula. Famous architects created beautiful homes with the finest of craftsmanship and elegant details. Lower South Hillsborough locations in this sunbelt and near the Polo Club were particularly popular. This estate has been home to a count and countess, titans of industry and corporate leaders. Yet of the only four families living here, two families have been in residence for over 90% of those years!
This spectacular Hillsborough estate of 1.286 acres built by European craftsmen in 1912, is an Italian villa permeated with European elegance perfect for the climate and lifestyle of this prestigious community. Features of the villa resemble the work of turn of the century architect George Howard, who designed the Burlingame train station, Hillsborough Racquet Club, and his own Howard House. The stature of this notable estate with extensive street setback, vast entry motor court on this unusually wide and deep property enhances the street presence and character of this well-known estate. The south facing orientation with east morning and west afternoon rooms allows light and sunny enjoyment throughout each day and the seasons.
While embracing the graceful architecture of the Old World, the entire estate of 8,500 square feet has been renovated over the years, and features 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms, a detached 5-car garage, ADU guest suite, executive office and conference room, regulation tennis court, huge pool and two spas. Electrical, plumbing, heating air-conditioning, roofing, drainage, irrigation, interior and exterior lighting have been upgraded. Earthquake reinforcing and bolting combined with a whole house and garage generator and security systems enhance safety and comfort. The splendor of the old and the function of “new” make this a most desirable estate property.
