60 Parkwood Drive
Atherton

60 PARKWOOD DRIVE, an estate of unusual beauty, has been described as “gracious by day, resplendent by night.” E. W. Hopkins commissioned the home in 1909 as a gift to his daughter, Georgiana, upon her marriage to Frederick W. McNear, of the McNear family of Marin County. He gave three such significant Atherton homes as presents to each of his newly married daughters. This notable estate was designed by Bliss & Faville of San Francisco, whose historical landmark buildings include the St. Francis Hotel, the Flood Mansion, the Bank of California building, the University Club, and many classical buildings of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, of which the Palace of Fine Arts remains.

The home has been impeccably restored for the 21st century with state-of-the-art systems by the renowned Orlando Diaz Azcuy Design Associates and acclaimed builder, Ryan Associates.
