This 1.25 +/- acre lot has been landscaped to perfection. It is a private, restorative environment that provides seasonal color, nourishment, room to play, and entertain. The home is embraced by the venue in a way that blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. Every window frames lush vistas, the solar-heated pool, majestic redwoods, and level lawn. The home has three levels with five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a great room with a chef's kitchen, a large dining room, and a cozy sitting room, all opening to the yard and pool. If you need a home office, there is a bookshelf-lined library complete with a desk, a large family room, and a lower level with space for a gym, game room, or media room, as well as a separate craft or homework center. The large office has custom built-ins, and the lower level has a private stairway and entrance. In addition, there is a guest cottage with a full kitchen, a living and dining area, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom, all separately accessible from the pool area. The home has two entrances, ample extra parking, a two-car garage, a separate one-car garage, and a storage shed. The central Portola Valley location is convenient to local shopping, the Alpine Hills Swim and Tennis Club, The Alpine Inn, excellent Portola Valley schools, and is just four minutes from Highway 280.
