Privately positioned on approximately 1.85 acres with unobstructed views of Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, this custom-built home offers a rare sense of serenity and seclusion just minutes from town. The setting is truly exceptional – vast, mostly level grounds bordered by open sky and native landscape. Designed for indoor/outdoor living, the home features an expansive flagstone terrace and covered front porch, along with a secluded rear terrace and spa – all surrounded by the natural beauty of Woodside and Portola Valley. A striking architectural presence is established with its signature shaped parapet, handcrafted detailing, and richly hued finishes inspired by classic Spanish Revival style.

Inside, the warmth continues with red birch floors, wood-paneled cathedral ceilings, and hand-selected tilework from Walker Zanger. The two-story layout includes 3 bedrooms, an office, and 3 full baths, with the main level thoughtfully designed for accessibility. Every room captures the views, and the kitchen is appointed for serious cooking with premium appliances, a walk-in pantry with wine storage, and an open connection to the indoor/outdoor dining room. Moments from hiking and biking trails, top-rated schools, and local amenities, this is a home that lives like a country retreat yet remains just minutes from the heart of town and Highway 280.
