About the Property
Step into the unmatched splendor that is 89 Tallwood, modern new construction with utopian California luxury appointments. Natural light brightens all three floors of resort-style spaces, designed to offer endless on-site entertainment options for residents and guests in a post pandemic embrace of everything that was once extra but now feels essential. Soft warm organic modern textures and hues create a haven for respite while epitomizing chicness. Lavish even by Atherton standards, the floor plan was designed to both host amazing events and to cradle the owners in privacy, respite and retreat.
Crafted by renowned architects Young and Borlik and adorned by designer Lucile Glessner, this Atherton residence exudes luxury without compromise. From the grandeur of its 20-foot glass-front entry to the floating staircase that gracefully traverses its three stories, every detail reflects meticulous thought and execution of Modern Organic Architecture.
