Villa de Verano

Hillsborough, California

Villa de Verano sits within one of America’s most prestigious enclaves, Hillsborough California. Just 20 miles south of San Francisco, Hillsborough is an entirely residential community steeped in history, sophistication and enduring exclusivity. An extraordinary legacy estate set on 12.33 acres of private, meticulously designed and maintained grounds—where classical architecture, curated interiors and world-class amenities meet timeless elegance.

Architecture

Designed by Internationally Renowned Architect Andrew Skurman

Designed by AD100 architect Andrew Skurman, an internationally renowned architect known for elegant interpretations of Classical styles. The home reflects the best of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture—and showcases symmetry, proportion and timeless beauty.

Interiors

World-Class Interiors by Tucker & Marks

Suzanne Tucker, world-acclaimed AD100 Interior Designer, led the interior design. Inspired by European luxury, the design features bespoke furnishings, rich fabrics, and globally sourced artwork—many pieces commissioned exclusively for this estate.

Main Residence

Artful Living Across Three Levels

The resort-like compound is unlike anything Hillsborough has ever seen—offering a rare level of privacy, scale, and exclusivity. From the moment you enter the stately gates, the experience is transformative. A winding, canopied drive leads you over a charming bridge, past a grove of redwoods, and through sculpted gardens before arriving at the expansive motor court. The entry to the main house is as impressive as the estate itself. Double front doors with intricate custom ironwork open to a generous foyer, setting the tone for the elegance that lies within. The formal living room is a masterpiece in scale and symmetry, anchored by twin fireplaces and framed by three oversized French doors that open to the sweeping rear terrace. The terrace offers an awe-inspiring view: a perfectly centered pool, the serene reflection pond beyond, and sweeping vistas of the Bay and East Bay hills in the distance. It's a scene worthy of being framed—and one that transforms with every season.
