The one-acre property, despite its owner’s embroiled lives, is quite a breath of fresh air. It is situated behind gates and mature hedges and is touted as a “classic example of French provincial architecture.” It is situated in the same leafy neighborhood that’s also home to Steph Curry, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Marc Andreessen, and others.

The opulent home features five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two powder rooms spread over its nearly 9,000-square-foot structure. There’s also a one-bedroom guesthouse that is perched in its beautiful backyard.

While the four ensuite bedrooms lie upstairs, a fifth suite that could be “staff quarters or an ideal office” is situated on the main level itself. And not to forget, the master bath which is a work of art in itself and comes with sunny backyard views and a built-in soaking tub.
