Mulberry Ln, Los Altos Hills

So what is highest price that a home has sold for in Santa Clara County in the last year and where is it?

Well, in Los Altos Hills, of course, well known as being one of the most expensive places to live in all of the United States. To be more specific, right here on Mulberry Lane, where a home sold for $11 million in the last year.

So what is the big deal about this home that it would fetch such a high price?

You get a 3300 foot 6 bedroom 2½ half bath beauty with its own tennis court on a cul-de-sac. It is a beautiful high ceilinged home with chandeliers, a wine cellar, and even a private movie theater space. Put simply, this is pretty much a small mansion, perfectly suited to the needs of a Silicon Valley CEO.

From here you are perfectly situated for the commute to anywhere in the Peninsula, whether it is Palo Alto or San Jose. In addition, you will be close neighbors with those who also share your tax bracket--maybe even your competitors.

And, of course, the schools are great, the weather is warmer than SF, and there is virtually no crime. Overall this is a pretty nice place.
