This 30,000 square foot mansion would be a LARPer’s dream castle. Even if I could afford it, I would not purchase it. Come on, 30,000 square feet and only a 3 car garage? If I have 38 million dollars to spend on a home, I sure am going to have more than 3 cars. And not even a private runway for my jet? ? ? I’ll pass.

Only 21 miles south of San Francisco, in the prestigious Los Altos Hills and center of the Silicon Valley, this approximately 30,000 sq. ft. mansion is situated on 7.5 manicured acres. A majestic wrought iron gate opens to a long private driveway which meanders through the trees and leads one to this impeccably restored manor. The splendid English Tudor and Jacobean revival style exterior is bisected by a porte cochere separating the living quarters and a grand ballroom. The opulent interior includes formal living room with Italian style 12 foot wood ceilings, an antique carved marble fireplace, a ballroom with 16th Century gilded Venetian ceiling paintings said to be from the Palazzo Grimani, a grand oak entry stair hall with plaster ceilings, library with mahogany bookcases and a secret room with wet bar and beer taps, inlaid wood floors, gourmet kitchen with mahogany island and onyx counters, breakfast room with new Gothic arch windows, complete with 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, a spacious gym, a garden building, a caretaker’s house, and a 3 car garage.
