Escape to your own personal retreat on approximately 5 acres with all the essentials for today’s lifestyle – dedicated office space, recreational amenities including a spa and pickleball court, and a Zen-like ambiance for stress-free living. Just one mile from famed Alice’s Restaurant on Skyline and five miles from Woodside town center, this location benefits from an abundance of sunshine and nearby Thornewood Open Space Preserve that ensures privacy and all the natural beauty you could possibly want. The main home is beautifully appointed with combinations of rich wood finishes complemented by bright white finishes in the kitchen and primary suite bath. The one-level floor plan is fully open for living, dining, and kitchen space and almost every room in the home opens to the outdoors. A tucked-away spacious guest house provides added accommodations complete with full kitchen – another option for work-from-home needs or extended-family quarters. Plus, a three-level detached garage offers flexibility of use. Privacy, nature, space, and an ideal ambiance for well-being – just what is needed now and for the future. Welcome home!
