Exceptional and extremely rare opportunity to build on a prime West Atherton Cul-De-Sac location set in one of the country’s most desirable cities and most luxurious zip codes. Situated with a perfect orientation and southern exposure, this home is surrounded by beautiful estate homes. The lot provides the ultimate opportunity to build new with an abundance of perimeter foliage and trees providing the upmost privacy. The dimensions of the lot are ideal at approximately 264' deep by 165' wide, set on a quiet cul-de-sac off the main Selby Lane.

The current home features a traditional floor plan showcasing elegant formal rooms, a spacious and bright eat-in kitchen, and an inviting family room. Most of the entertaining spaces open up to the serene backyard. Five generously sized bedrooms are found upstairs, plus a main-level office or optional bedroom. 

A well services the front and rear landscaped grounds. An expansive stretch of lawn along the rear property line, partially covered patios, and a side yard dedicated to fenced vegetable beds offer endless possibilities. With its combination of serene surroundings, fully level grounds, and immense potential for future development, this property represents an outstanding opportunity in central Atherton.
