Los Altos Hills, California

Villa Serena Los Altos Hills, California Built in 2002, the villa is the culmination of the current owners’ vision to create a masterpiece in the style of 16th century Italian Renaissance architect, Andrea Palladio – considered to be one of the most influential individuals in the history of architecture. Taking several years to complete, this spectacular estate is a triumph of architectural design and exceptional craftsmanship that unfolds over 5 glorious acres in Los Altos Hills. Local and international artisans were assembled to create a world touched by beauty at every turn. In keeping with the style of the Veneto region of Italy, floors were hand-set in intricately designed terrazzo, ceilings sculpted by master plasterers, and interior doors, lights and hardware were all custom made just for Villa Serena. Inspired by travel throughout the world, the kitchen is an original by renowned London designer Clive Christian, the lounge is a replica of the Buddha Bar in Paris, and the nightclub is a reproduction of Annabel’s in London. The result is a sumptuous collection of rooms that span three levels and approximately 22,000 square feet – all catered by stateof-the-art systems for security, personal comfort, whole home audio with speakers in every room and complete Internet connectivity. Continuing the exuberance of luxuriousness, the grounds are equally breathtaking, framing the classic symmetry of the home with formal lawns, fountains and terraces that open from every room – all beneath open skies and a backdrop of sweeping views of the East Bay hills. $31,000,000.

Villa Serena

Los Altos Hills, California Imagine the very best of everything presented with artistry and craftsmanship to create an environment of textures, patterns and colors that delight the spirit. Villa Serena is that place. The house is in the Palladian style and is evocative of the dozens of villas designed by Andrea Palladio in the Veneto region just outside of Venice along the Brenta Canal. The exterior materials are typical of this sort of structure. Limestone was selected in France by Sigrun Corrigan and Greg Zubick. Each piece is custom-made to fit together. This three level home, each level serviced by an elevator, includes a five bedroom suite, garage parking for seven cars, detached one-bedroom apartment plus studio suite, two butler’s panties, flower arranging room, theatre with seating for 15 and a wine tasting room. The family room has the most contemporary look architecturally. Simple wood beams complement the Biedermeier style bar. $31,000,000. www.VillaSerenaEstate.com

Los Altos Hills, California

Villa Serena Los Altos Hills, California Built in 2002, the villa is the culmination of the current owners’ vision to create a masterpiece in the style of 16th century Italian Renaissance architect, Andrea Palladio – considered to be one of the most influential individuals in the history of architecture. Taking several years to complete, this spectacular estate is a triumph of architectural design and exceptional craftsmanship that unfolds over 5 glorious acres in Los Altos Hills. Local and international artisans were assembled to create a world touched by beauty at every turn. In keeping with the style of the Veneto region of Italy, floors were hand-set in intricately designed terrazzo, ceilings sculpted by master plasterers, and interior doors, lights and hardware were all custom made just for Villa Serena. Inspired by travel throughout the world, the kitchen is an original by renowned London designer Clive Christian, the lounge is a replica of the Buddha Bar in Paris, and the nightclub is a reproduction of Annabel’s in London. The result is a sumptuous collection of rooms that span three levels and approximately 22,000 square feet – all catered by stateof-the-art systems for security, personal comfort, whole home audio with speakers in every room and complete Internet connectivity. Continuing the exuberance of luxuriousness, the grounds are equally breathtaking, framing the classic symmetry of the home with formal lawns, fountains and terraces that open from every room – all beneath open skies and a backdrop of sweeping views of the East Bay hills. $31,000,000.
