I thought it would be fun to add a short form version of my longer tours and for now I’m calling them my 2 minute tour videos. Here is one of my luxury listing in Atherton. Atherton real estate is selling well this month and this home is getting many buyers looking with several return visits. I look forward to your thoughts on this shorter form.
Yes, it is true. A high end luxury estate in Atherton is priced to sell and has recently lowered the asking price. The estate has three buildings on it – main home, guest house and office/artists studio for a total of over 6,200 square feet of living space. This home is great for extended families, has a beautiful pool with slide, parking for 8 cars, and a large lot with fruit trees and sitting areas. The main home is centered around the open floor plan of the combined kitchen and family room areas where your family will congregate around meals or entertaining. Bedrooms are all generous in size and have their own bathrooms for that “suite” feeling and privacy.
The home has been reduced by almost $400,000 to sell quickly and the new asking price is $3,495,000. Lindenwood Estate homes are in demand and this luxury estate is priced to sell. Great Menlo Park schools and close proximity to public transportation and freeways.

In case you missed it, here is an excerpt from a recent article about the high end housing here on the Peninsula and how well it is selling. Los Altos Hills has had the big sale while Palo Alto is consistent and almost a sellers market. Atherton and Menlo Park and moving along nicely with Atherton getting the high end sales.
A new luxury home has hit the market in Atherton on a private cul-de-sac street. My new listing has 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths and is approximately 7,000 square feet. It sits on just over one acre and has beautiful landscaping as well as the perfect setup for the family that likes an outdoor lifestyle or entertaining. There is a pool, hot tub, lots of patio decking for parties, putting green, sand volleyball court and huge grassy area for playing any kind of family games.
The interior of the home is very spacious and light filled. The six bedrooms are all generous in size and there is also a large office/den as well as bonus room that can be used for a workout room or media room. The family room is large and just off the kitchen, so it creates the perfect hanging out area, that also happens to lead to the pool and outdoor entertaining areas. This luxury Atherton real estate listing can be seen by appointment only by calling Gary Kurtz of Alain Pinel Realtors. The asking price is $6.999 million. The virtual tour will show you more pictures or you can go to my APR website for more information.
Atherton has seen a surge in purchases of luxury real estate recently and homes in the 5-20 million dollar range have been selling, despite the sluggish economy. Atherton California is one of the most expensive areas in the country, having ranked #2 for highest average listing price.
I just came back from previewing a couple of homes for sale in Atherton that will be going on the market next week. Some of them were great deals, as I mentioned on my twitter feed, while others were overpriced in my opinion. I’m not going to mention the overpriced homes on broker tour as I’m not here to give you any false salesmanship, I’ll leave that up to the others. One of the homes I really liked is expensive, but a great value compared to others that are similar or higher priced.
This one has a tennis court, pool, pool house and a great design that allows the main rooms in the house to all look out towards the magnificent backyard. It has been remodeled recently and everything from the kitchen to all the bedrooms are like new. My guess is that this home could sell quickly, despite the hefty price of over six million dollars. A great buy for the right buyer. This isn’t on the market yet, but give me a call orschedule an appointment on my website if you want to know more and possibly schedule a tour.

I spent the weekend looking around in Atherton, specifically the Lindenwood area trying to find a good open house. Wasn’t any to find this weekend and there isn’t a lot of homes for sale in there right now. There was a couple to look at, but I would consider them fixer uppers as opposed to a typical Atherton great home. If you want to find other areas for open houses, don’t forget to check my website on APR. Just put in the area you want to check out and let me do the work for you.
