This splendid modern farmhouse-style home was designed by Young & Borlik Architects, nestled on a 1.3-acre property in Atherton, a town in San Mateo County, California.

This 12,086 square foot, seven-bedroom, and ten-bath house is an adaptation of classic detailing with a crisp and tightly organized modern flair. Traditional materials and a casual design have been revitalized and deliberately executed to create a highly refined version of a farmhouse style.

A casual stone and gravel driveway leads to a large heritage Oak tree that enhances this home’s curb appeal. The gravel driveway allows air and water to keep the tree healthy. A touch of metal roofing at the entry and dormers provide a modern contrast to the siding and shingle elements.

Inside, this stunning modern farmhouse includes a full library, a basement billiard room, and sports bar, a basement family room, an exercise room, and a large home movie theater.

What We Love: This splendid modern farmhouse features multiple entertainment patios and fire pits for intimate gatherings with family and friends. Inside, a fully-furnished basement also provides wonderful entertainment areas, with a beautifully appointed kitchen, a family room, a home bar, and a fabulous home theater. We are especially loving the living room with its soaring ceilings and indoor-outdoor connection with a view looking out towards the swimming pool.
