California is where you will find some of the best luxury mansions ever. But if you’re looking for something truly spectacular, you should start searching Hillsborough, one of the wealthiest communities in the U.S.
Take for instance the spectacular Tobin Clark estate, a property with a rich history and a high level of extravagance. It was built back in 1930 for Celia Tobin Clark, a member of a very famous family of that time. Originally designed by David Adler, the mansion has been thoroughly renovated both inside and outside, and it is now available for purchase for $29 million.
So what would all that money bring? First, a lovely cobblestone drive towards the residence, and a stone fountain in front of the house. Then, beautiful statuary gardens, perfectly trimmed lawns, a balustrade rose garden, a pool with guest house, and a Grand Terrace. The entire property boasts 35,000 square feet of luxury.
Inside, everything spells opulence. There is a reception foyer with black and white marble flooring, an extravagant dining room, 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, two kitchens, a guest apartment, a VIP room where state presidents were once hosted, a bar room, a spacious lounge/media room, a gym and a wine vault. Also on the list is a library with centuries-old panels, and a superb Music Room, which is a huge hall with 15-foot ceilings, and measuring 55 feet in length. It features Bay windows and parquet-de-Versailles floors, and it is decorated with carvings, sculptures and gold-gilt moldings. The lavish dining room flaunts a marble fireplace and offers access to the Grand Terrace and Loggia through beautiful French doors.
The spacious garage of the property can house up to six cars. There is an impressive list of advanced systems that keep this huge residence perfectly functional. Intercom, security, lighting, sound, everything works in harmony to ensure a relaxed and safe living for everybody inside. See more of this stunning estate in the photo gallery below.
