What We Want: Property of the Week - 83 Tuscaloosa, Atherton

Today we're taking peek inside an 8,670 square foot elegant estate in Atherton boasting 5 bedrooms, 7 baths (5 full and 2 partial) spread over three floors, a pool house, guest cottage, and 6-hole putting green all on .96 acres in central Atherton.

Upon entry to the home, you'll find beautiful crown moldings, stunning natural finishes, and gleaming hardwood floors.  Halls are wide and filled with light.

Moving into the kitchen, you'll find walls of bright white upper cabinets complimented by natural wood lowers. Stone subway tile backsplash, granite and marble countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and simple, sleek fixtures complete the space. A butler's pantry completes the space.

And while not a traditional great room, the kitchen is adjacent to both the family room and an informal dining area.  The flooring and cabinets are consistent between all spaces and all are filled with light.

The formal dining room (below left) is contemporary in design with walls of windows. While the dining area adjacent to the kitchen and family room is a bit less formal but equally as light and bright (below right).

The only space we're a bit underwhelmed about is the master bedroom.  While we love the size, flooring, lines of the ceiling, and large windows and doors that lead outside, we're indifferent about the built-in that separates the space.  They clearly did this because the wall behind this built-in isn't large and they needed space for storage and a TV however, this really cuts the space in half and feels off.

The master bath though, is stunning. Windows to bring the outside in, marble subway tile surrounds, complimentary marble countertops, and that tub.   

The backyard is an entertainers delight.  Featuring a swimming pool, pool house, guest cottage, spa, and bocce ball court, this is a space where friends and family will want to be.

The home also includes a 6-hole putting green.  Perfect for both children and adults to perfect their golf game.

83 Tuscaloosa is on the market for $9.998M or roughly $1,153/square foot.  Annette Smith at Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty is the listing agent and a virtual tour may be found here.
