Remodeled and expanded from an original design by a San Francisco architect, the Fair Oaks Lane house comes with a newly remodeled guest house, a pool and a broad lawn, and Judy Citron and Talia Citron of Compass handled its listing. It led a week in which the metro area’s five highest-priced reported home sales combined for $51.79 million.
The five sales span Atherton, Portola Valley, Hillsborough and, within San Francisco, the Marina District and Noe Valley. Their build years run from 1900, for a remodeled Noe Valley Victorian, to 2006, for a Portola Valley vineyard property of approximately 41 acres, with a 1931 Spanish Mediterranean house on the Marina waterfront in between.

A formal living room with a fireplace sits beside a formal dining room, while the fully remodeled kitchen, with a breakfast area, opens to a family room with a second fireplace, all overlooking the grounds.
The primary suite is on the main floor, with a large walk-in closet, a bath with heated floors and French doors to a private patio fitted with screens that retract into the walls.
