    FEATURES

    Located in the prestigious Westridge area, this striking contemporary home stands as a testament to architectural brilliance by well-known architect Bob Stecker and construction by RJ Dailey. Upon entry, the home’s signature aesthetic is unveiled with cathedral ceilings by Kalwall, with dispersed light intersecting at angles supported by open beams and trusses in clear heart redwood. This design floods the home with diffused natural light, minimizing solar heat gain and maximizing thermal performance. The chorus of natural materials continues throughout, with vaulted ceilings in clear heart redwood, floors in oak, marble, or tile, and custom built-in wood cabinetry at every turn.

    Spanning nearly 13,000 total square feet, the design is thoughtfully arranged for everyday living while also being particularly suited to entrepreneurs and hobbyists. The custom-designed home offers unparalleled library storage, ample office and flexible-use space, plus numerous storage rooms and several lofts. Three staircases connect the two levels and a dumb waiter provides optional transport for material items.

    Predominantly arranged across one level, the main home begins with grand entertaining venues featuring expansive windows and glass doors that capture sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and out to the city skyline. The family room and kitchen form the heart of the home, accompanied by several additional rooms for everyday living. The home’s four bedrooms are located in a separate wing, along with a main office and a second office in the primary bedroom suite. Glass doors open each bedroom to the outdoors, and Kalwall ceilings appoint the bathrooms. The lower level comprises a large exercise room, spacious recreation room, plus a workshop and vast flexible-use space that connects to the garage. A detached guest house with a full kitchen, bedroom, and bath adds to the accommodations.

    Set on approximately 2.5 acres, the outdoor experience is equally impressive. The grounds feature a newly remodeled pool and spa, a built-in barbecue center, and freshly designed and installed landscaping with expansive lawn for recreation. The Westridge Trail borders the property leading to miles of hiking and biking renowned throughout the town.  Located within the highly acclaimed Portola Valley school district, this property is truly a special offering that combines architectural excellence with luxurious amenities and a remarkable setting with Bay views.
