Extraordinary in its setting and architectural beauty, this home is a sanctuary of peace and sophisticated elegance – a rare offering for Silicon Valley living. On a gated private road, just 10 minutes from Woodside Village, the 6.17-acre grounds combine madrone and fir forests with sun-swept open space and a backdrop of dazzling San Francisco Bay views. Built by the architect owner in 2006, the home offers unrivaled spaces centered on forest and Bay views with tall ceilings and expansive windows throughout. Each room features flexible custom lighting and an exceptional array of built-in furniture and custom cabinetry. The home is filled with light from windows and skylights at every turn, tucked away nooks for reading, lounging, and socializing, plus offices fit for the highest-level executive. Personal retreats are exceptionally comfortable, down to the heated bathroom floors and spa-like amenities. Access points to the grounds are many, where spacious terraces invite outdoor gatherings above the shimmering lights of the Valley.  Nearby hiking, biking and horseback riding trails abound, with easy access to sunny benches in The Meadows of Wunderlich Park. Truly a wonderful lifestyle option on the fast-paced Peninsula!
