In central Portola Valley on approximately one acre, this stunning home has been transformed into chic luxury with magnificent views of Windy Hill. A whole-home renovation and expansion touched every inch of the 5-bedroom, 4-bath home, while the addition of a just-completed guest house added 2 bedrooms and 2 baths along with a full kitchen. Almost every room in both residences looks out to Windy Hill, each with decks outlined in clear glass for unobstructed enjoyment. Positioned between the main home and guest house is a sparkling pool and free-standing spa with newly landscaped grounds, including numerous fruit trees, vast space for gardening or horses, plus direct access to hiking trails.

Throughout the home, a palette of crisp white contrasts with hewn-finished ash floors, although it is the windows and glass doors that are a signature of the design, taking full advantage of the Windy Hill views. The open concept includes a dedicated office perfect for today’s needs, several built-in desk centers for distance learning, a family room, plus a recreation room. Custom Downsview cabinetry is as beautiful as it is functional, track-hung barn doors exude country sophistication, and Calacatta marble finishes add subtle luxury. Additional features include a dog-washing station, retractable awnings, and motorized window coverings. With location, exceptional quality, and outstanding views – this is indeed a very special place to call home in Portola Valley.
