Magnificent! You will not believe the spectacular views of the Western Hills from this stunning contemporary move-in-ready compound. Located in the sought after Westridge Corridor of Central Portola Valley at the end of an elevated cul-de-sac, this estate offers the perfect blend of privacy and entertainment options. The current owners completely rebuilt the main home, upgraded the guest house and built a new two story detached studio. The main home’s enviable mostly one-level floor plan captures dramatic views from nearly every room and was designed to promote an easy entertaining flow from the connecting kitchen, dining, and living rooms to the expansive outdoor Ipe-wood deck. At the pool level, an even larger buckskin stone entertaining patio surrounds a 50-foot pool and 1-bedroom detached guest house with full kitchen. The second detached building incorporates a large two-level studio providing the opportunity for a remote office, workout gym, additional living unit or maker workshop. A secluded spa overlooks it all.
