269 Selby Lane Atherton Presented by Erika Demma

Nestled in the heart of Atherton, this estate home boasts authentic Spanish architecture that dates back to 1927. Set on a sprawling 1.36-acre parcel with a tennis court and pool, this gated property has been lovingly maintained by the same family for many years. Every detail speaks to the era in which it was built, from the arched ceilings to the tall arched windows and iron railings that showcase Spanish-style craftsmanship. The vintage clay tiles hand-set in a random pattern with multiple hues make for extraordinary floors. The grand living room features an adobe fireplace, while the formal dining room is perfect for large gatherings. An intimate den provides a cozy retreat for after-dinner relaxation.
The updated kitchen is in keeping with the home’s early heritage and features a rich, warm palette, while the adjoining breakfast room is surrounded by garden-view windows. The main level boasts a spacious family room with fireplace and wet bar that is currently being used as a primary suite option, complete with heated floor bathroom and large customized walk-in closet. Upstairs, there are five spacious bedrooms and three additional custom-tiled bathrooms, including the main primary suite.
The expansive grounds are perfect for outdoor living, with a full tennis court and a sparkling pool surrounded by brick decking. The pool cabana offers changing rooms and a convenient half-bath. This is a rare find in Atherton - an authentically Spanish home superbly located, with exceptional opportunities.
