Kelly Porter, a managing partner at investment bank Woodside Capital Partners, spent seven years and millions of dollars renovating his Tudor-style home in Los Altos Hills, Calif. And now, according to the Silicon Valley Business Journal, he's put it back on the market for $27 million.
Porter originally listed the property for $45 million in 2008, then later chopped the price down to $36 million before listing it at its current price.
The 30,000-square-foot house received landmark status when it was completed by former Stanford University trustee Percy Morgan in 1914. It has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and decadent gold-leafed ceilings and marble statues can be found throughout the property.
There's even a speakeasy hidden behind a false shelf in the library.
The house sits on a 7.5-acre lot in Los Altos Hills, part of Silicon Valley.
It's a gated property, with an ultra-private driveway leading up to the front entry.
There are lots of classical details both inside and outside the home, including this statue by the entryway.
The inside decor is dramatic, with high ceilings, custom millwork, and decadent chandeliers.

And the carvings on this sink are one-of-a-kind.
This ping pong table seems a little out of place with the rest of the lavish decor.
This cave-like wine cellar is great for serious collectors.
The property is actually made up of four separate structures — the main house, guest house, ballroom, and fitness facility — with landscaped courtyards connecting them.
The ballroom looks like something out of a European palace.
These pathways would make for a pleasant walk.
The pool would be great for a sunny day.
And the spacious patio offers sweeping views of Silicon Valley.
