Home of the Day: July 13, 2011


248 GREENOAKS DRIVE, ATHERTON
6 bed / 4.5 bath / 4,748 square feet

I absolutely love the Lindenwood neighborhood of Atherton.  There is something so charming about the area's winding streets and mature trees, and I feel the tranquil setting almost always influences the houses that are built there.  For a while there was very little inventory, but over the past few months we've seen quite a few properties hit the market here, and they are always the first I take a look at during broker's tours.

This property is the perfect example of why I love Lindenwood homes.  It manages to be both traditional and current, sophisticated and simple, and impressive while still having a sense of warmth that makes it feel like a home.  The kitchen (seen above) was great.  It harmonized the best details of both traditional and modern kitchens, turning the room into an inviting space that is just large enough without becoming too overbearing.

Bedrooms?  This house has plenty.  The is one bedroom over the garage that is perfect for a guest suite, while the other five are concentrated on the opposite wing of the house...three downstairs and two up.  The ground floor master features a vaulted ceiling (see above) that has a relaxing and peaceful view of the perfectly manicured yard.  The yard also features a sparkling pool and a two-room pool house.

Listed by Alain Pinel Realtors for $4,295,000
