Located in sought-after Central Portola Valley, this well-appointed home is embraced by forested surroundings and a pool on an expansive 2.37-acre lot. A classic Craftsman exterior clad in shingles gives way to bright, contemporary interiors filled with incredible natural light. Vaulted ceilings rise above the rooms, complemented by numerous skylights and an extraordinary use of picture windows and sliding glass doors that frame the breathtaking scenery at every turn. The thoughtfully designed layout spans two levels with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, a family room with an office center and built-in Murphy bed, plus a flexible-use room for office, fitness, or media.

Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the home features grand gathering spaces that flow seamlessly to expansive outdoor venues, including two separate decks, one with built-in barbecue and adjoining covered dining lounge and one with large spa and outdoor shower. An elevated crushed stone terrace with fire pit offers another inviting venue for an outdoor gathering. Adding a rare and unexpected highlight, a separately fenced and sunswept pool is positioned at one end of the grounds surrounded by lawn and wooded views. Completing the appeal are a detached two-car garage, abundant off-street parking, and access to excellent Portola Valley schools. A truly special opportunity in one of the Peninsula’s most desirable neighborhoods.
