Tech industry heavyweights have made Atherton, California one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country. Billionaires Marc Andreessen and Eric Schmidt both listed their longtime homes in the Silicon Valley enclave for $33 million and $24.5 million, respectively, earlier this year, and now another home has hit the market for $22.3 million, but you can’t go wrong. No need. Fortune 500 company to stake your claim. Billy McNair of the McNair Group at Coldwell Banker has the listing.
Custom built estate, in the heart of an unincorporated community of approximately 8,000 people 138 Almandral Avenue Built in 2012 on about an acre of land. It has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, plus three more powder rooms, in its 8,400 square feet of living space. Two home offices increase professional productivity, but the home is just as suitable for relaxation. Spaces like the great room blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living and entertaining areas.
The airy great room highlights the home’s indoor-outdoor design.

The residence’s charming facade towers over the front yard, where lush landscaping surrounds the home. Contemporary steel and glass doors at the entrance perfectly frame a unique wall display in the foyer before the fireside living room comes into focus. A wall of telescopic glass sliders open onto a sunlit terrace overlooking the manicured gardens. To host a dinner party, head to the formal dining room, which seats more than eight people with French doors that open to the patio. Stainless steel appliances pop against white cabinetry in the nearby chef’s kitchen, which offers a large island, walk-in pantry and adjacent breakfast nook.
