We’re in love with this contemporary gem with European styling.  Located at 120 Toyon Road in Atherton, this three-year-old home has sleek architectural lines while incorporating traditional touches. 

Located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods on the peninsula, this two-level home sits on .88 acres and includes 5 bedrooms and 5 full and 2 partial baths in just over 6400 square feet.  This home is offered at a mere $9.8M and is listed by Laura McCarthy with Alain Pinel.

White oak floors greet you upon entrance to the home where you’ll find an open floor plan.  While our favorite space in the house is the great room, we’re impressed with the lighting throughout the house and how much it enhances the overall living space.  Someone living here definitely has a thing for beautiful lighting.

Let’s talk about that great room though.  All we can say is “wow”. It’s a stunner.  With two marble topped islands, top of the line appliances, a separate pantry, oodles of storage, this is place one could entertain in.  The family room area includes a large fireplace, plenty of windows to bring the outside in, and shelving the display your treasures.  The entire room is wrapped in shiplap (including the fireplace) and the roman blinds mimic to the look for a look that seamlessly blends into the surroundings.  The lighting in this beautiful space is punctuated with two hanging chandeliers and recessed cans.

With five bedrooms, there is plenty of room to house even the largest family.  Three of the rooms are en suite which make life a bit easier for anyone with either kids or out of town guests.  No more arguing over space in the bathroom. 

We love how tranquil the master bedroom appears to be.  Wide oak plank floors continue to the bedrooms and anchor the space while large windows and a Juliette balcony allow an abundance of light into the room. 

The master bath includes a deep soaking tub, dual vanities and a large shower with dual heads.

The outside space is equally as nice, with a large pool, spa, and fire pit.  The only thing missing from the outside space is an outdoor kitchen however; the great room is only steps away.  For added security, a fence surrounds the house with electric gate and there is a three-car garage with the requisite electric car hookup.
