Hillsborough House that host many presidents
Step Inside Hillsborough’s Crown Jewel: The Tobin Clark Estate
Hillsborough, California, is home to some seriously jaw-dropping estates, but few can match the Tobin Clark Estate at 40 Verbalee Lane. This isn’t just a house—it’s a full-blown luxury experience, packed with history, charm, and a sprinkle of presidential flair. Yep, U.S. presidents have actually hung out here. Pretty cool, right?
A Mansion with a Story
Back in 1932, heiress Celia Tobin Clark (yep, from the Tobin family—you might’ve heard of the Tobin Packing Company) wanted a home that screamed elegance, so she teamed up with architect David Adler to build this Tudor-style masterpiece. Fast forward almost a century, and this 35,000-square-foot beauty, sitting on 5.9 acres, is still turning heads.
Fit for Presidents, Celebrities & You?
Over the years, this place has played host to some of the biggest names in history—presidents, world leaders, Hollywood stars. If these walls could talk, they'd probably have some wild stories to tell. The estate boasts 12 bedrooms, 13 full bathrooms, and 3 half bathrooms—so, no fighting over the mirror in the morning. You’ll also find a grand ballroom straight out of The Great Gatsby, a VIP suite, and a heated pool with a cabana (because every dream home needs one, right?).
Old-School Charm with Timeless Glamour
Walking through this estate is like stepping into a classic Hollywood movie. The Tudor-style architecture, high ceilings, intricate woodwork, and European-inspired details make every inch of this place feel effortlessly elegant. It’s got all the charm of a 1930s mansion, with all the luxury you’d expect in a modern-day dream home.
Final Thoughts
The Tobin Clark Estate isn’t just another luxury home—it’s a piece of history wrapped in grandeur, charm, and timeless beauty. As a realtor who loves showcasing standout properties, I can’t help but be obsessed with homes that tell a story while offering jaw-dropping luxury.
