399 selby lane

With privacy from the street, this property presents an exceptional opportunity in the heart of central Atherton to create a dream estate or reimagine the existing one. Spanning just under one acre, the grounds feature a 126-foot frontage, 344-foot depth, a welcoming front redwood grove for added privacy, and mature trees confined to the perimeter, leaving the interior of the property open for exceptional design flexibility. Sun-filled outdoor spaces include a pool, expansive wisteria-covered terrace, prolific rose garden, and vast level lawn. The existing two-story home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bath, and 2 half-baths with a signature conservatory-style solarium overlooking the rear grounds. There is also a detached all-wood cottage, a studio apartment with full kitchen, and a pool cabana, each with a full bath. A planning study outlines the potential for a substantial new estate. Whether the existing home is renovated or the property is reimagined entirely, the generous lot dimensions, privacy, and premier central Atherton location create an exceptional setting for a remarkable legacy estate. Completing the appeal is convenient access to Sand Hill Road, Stanford University, and central Silicon Valley.
