Step into the unmatched splendor that is 89 Tallwood, modern new construction with utopian California luxury appointments.  Natural light brightens all three floors of resort-style spaces, designed to offer endless on-site entertainment options for residents and guests in a post pandemic embrace of everything that was once extra but now feels essential. Soft warm organic modern textures and hues create a haven for respite while epitomizing chicness. Lavish even by Atherton standards, the floor plan was designed to both host amazing events and to cradle the owners in privacy, respite and retreat.

Crafted by renowned architects Young and Borlik and adorned by designer Lucile Glessner, this Atherton residence exudes luxury without compromise. From the grandeur of its 20-foot glass-front entry to the floating staircase that gracefully traverses its three stories, every detail reflects meticulous thought and execution of Modern Organic Architecture.

MAIN LEVEL

The main level’s movable glass walls form an open air “L” to facilitate hosting the ultimate soirée around the pool, heated outdoor lounge, fireplace, and resort style outdoor bar.  Showcase your culinary skills in the outdoor kitchen featuring high output gas side burners, a hood vent, Lynx fridge, slide-out trash, but beware, your catering staff might stage a cookout takeover.

The Arrital kitchen is a masterpiece, with a dual-dining islands, sleek matte black fixtures, a stunning hand-blown glass chandelier and Italian artisan decor. Equipped with Bosch dishwashers, dual Miele ovens, and an espresso machine, it will kickstart your productive day. Meander to the adjoining mom-office pantry or why not hang out in the dining room where you can settle in comfortably next to the custom flamed granite fireplace while choosing what you want to listen to on the built-in speaker system.  The Savant home automation is perfect for entertaining guests or simply curating a nice ambience for yourself. To the right, the family room features surround sound, a 6-foot-wide linear Montigo fireplace with customizable LED lighting, and a seamless sliding glass wall.
