PeopleSoft founder David Duffield spent seven years on the design and construction of a dream house for his family—and their pets—on more than 21 acres in the East Bay hills. Among the more unusual amenities at the multi-gabled English manor are a dog spa, two paw-washing stations and an aviary. The 8-bedroom house is a paradise for young humans as well, with a home cinema, a treehouse and multiple pools. Dana Green at Pacific Union/Christie’s commissioned a special video that shows off the delights of entertaining family and friends at her chart-topping $39 million listing.
