About This Home

Surrounded by a sea of oak trees and level open spaces, this wonderfully bright home is located on a corner lot of nearly one-half acre in sought-after Portola Valley Ranch. Soaring ceilings with exposed beams, numerous sliding glass doors, and multiple skylights fill the interiors with natural light. Recently completed updates include fresh exterior paint, refinished Brazilian teak floors, and a luxurious primary suite bath on the main level with heated floors and a curbless shower. The open living and dining room combination is served by a sleek modern kitchen with granite finishes, premium appliances, and a casual dining area. The lower level offers a flexible recreation/media room with potential for a fourth bedroom complementing two additional bedrooms and two baths on this level. Expansive decks on both levels invite outdoor living. Rounding out the home are the Ranch amenities that include pools, tennis courts, hiking trails, and a community vineyard, along with access to top-rated Portola Valley schools - the perfect place to call home midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
