"Built in 2013, the mansion evokes Italian luxury in design, with its soaring ceilings and honey-toned wood paneling atop cream marble columns that flank hand-carved arched openings. In the primary suite, a wraparound glass wall opens to a wide stone patio that looks out toward the Bay. The home is the result of a collaboration between two of Architectural Digest's top 100 architects and designers: Andrew Skurman of Skurman Architects and Suzanne Tucker of Tucker & Marks Design."
"Sometimes the names honor the homes' famous owners, as in the case of the Crosby Estate (that of Bing Crosby) or the Koshland Estate, former home to Daniel Koshland of Levi Strauss & Co. Other times, these sprawling estates take on titles that evoke their inspiration. There's also the Western White House, inspired by the more famous original in D.C., but even among these multimillion-dollar mansions, 3000 Ralston Ave. - aka Villa de Verano - is a standout property."
Villa de Verano is an $88 million, 12-acre estate in Hillsborough's 94010 ZIP code that channels the opulence of Lake Como. The 2013-built mansion features soaring ceilings, honey-toned wood paneling, cream marble columns, and hand-carved arched openings. The primary suite has a wraparound glass wall leading to a stone patio with Bay views. The residence was designed by Andrew Skurman and Suzanne Tucker and required more than six years of construction with over 110 subcontractors, including specialized European craftsmen. Many interior furnishings and artworks were custom-commissioned to create a unified, bespoke aesthetic at an extraordinary scale.
