Located in the heart of central Portola Valley, this beautiful home on 1 acre boasts sweeping views of the western hills from almost every room. Spanning two levels, the home has been extensively renovated and portrays a sophisticated country elegance that is bright and open with a floor plan for today’s style of living. A towering cathedral ceiling spans the kitchen, formal dining area, and living room in one uninterrupted space that looks out to the views through an entire wall of glass. The finishes are superb with beautiful hardwood floors, lightly hued millwork, and perfectly selected granite that ties it all together in harmony. Custom built-ins appear at every turn with amazing library or display spaces in the main living areas as well as in the offices and bedrooms, plus added luxuries of custom wine storage and entertaining space are built in. The gourmet kitchen has two islands, one with breakfast/wine bar seating, an adjoining family room area, plus easy access to a vast deck that invites indoor/outdoor living against a backdrop of the western hills.

Personal accommodations comprise 4 bedrooms, 2 dedicated offices, plus an exercise room, and 4.5 bathrooms. The floor plan is thoughtfully arranged for a variety of lifestyle needs. The spacious master suite is conveniently located on the main level along with a second bedroom suite and an office. The lower level offers incredible flexibility for separate living quarters, if desired, with a lockable suite of rooms that include a huge recreation area, bedroom, bath, full kitchen, and laundry. Additionally, the exercise room, fourth bedroom, second office, a bathroom, and sauna are found in a private wing on this level.
