An extraordinary home in Atherton, Calif., isn’t surprising. It is the country’s most expensive zip code, after all: home to “high-profile residents who want to keep a low profile,” as I once wrote. But it appears “the Atherton,” a stunning, sprawling mansion, mirrors the idyllic town it’s named after. 

The home sits on Tuscaloosa Avenue, atop a 1.42-acre lot. Newly built this year, it has nine bedrooms and 15 bathrooms.
