Units n/a

Tucked away on approximately 2.77 acres in the Vista Verde community with easy access to the amenities of Portola Valley, this remarkable property offers a peaceful retreat from the fast-paced life of Silicon Valley. A sweeping tiled stairway descends through lushly planted gardens to the main entrance, where the home opens to grand yet understated interiors that echo the serenity and refinement of the grounds. Enter the expansive main level with its 10 and 12 foot ceilings, including a spacious kitchen and family room combination with a large pantry for entertaining; adjoining dining and living rooms with arch-top windows that capture the stunning wooded views; and an elegant primary suite with dual exterior balconies, sitting area with fireplace, spacious walk-in closet, and a luxurious marble bath all enhanced by fine millwork, solid oak hardwood floors, and recessed lighting. The multi-functional lower level features two additional bedrooms one en suite a home office, an artist studio or home gym, and a large recreation room that opens to a massive, multi-level deck and pergola with a linear natural gas fire pit and a built-in kitchen barbecue area, creating an adjoining indoor-outdoor entertainment space that overlooks the private rear grounds.
