Property Description
Set within 2.77 acres, this remarkable residence is enveloped by gardens, mature trees, and the kind of natural stillness that feels increasingly rare in Silicon Valley. Though close to the amenities of Portola Valley, the property has the character of a private retreat. A long, tiled staircase moves through layers of lush planting, creating a sense of anticipation before the architecture comes into view. Inside, the house reveals soaring 10- and 12-foot ceilings, fine millwork, oak floors, and an abundance of natural light. The main level unfolds naturally. A generous kitchen and family room form the heart of the home, with a substantial pantry designed for effortless entertaining. Beyond, the dining and living rooms are framed by graceful arch-top windows, their wooded outlooks becoming an ever-changing part of the interior. The primary suite is conceived as a sanctuary of its own. Two private balconies open toward the surrounding landscape, while a fireside sitting area offers a quiet place to retreat. An expansive walk-in closet and beautifully appointed marble bath complete the suite with a sense of understated luxury. Two additional bedrooms, one is en-suite. Sweeping views, multi-level deck and pergola extend into the gardens, with a built-in outdoor kitchen and barbecue.
