Combining sleek architectural lines with a dramatic sophisticated design, this just-completed home portrays the ultimate in contemporary style. The unique design, by renowned Palo Alto architects, Stoecker & Northway, provides for a sparkling pool and spa that take center stage on the vast front courtyard, allowing full advantage of the western hill views.

Inside and out, a Zen-like ambiance pays tribute to the natural elements of water, wood, earth, and sky complementing the builder’s respect for renewable and sustainable resources used throughout the home. Lavish use of cedar, sleek expanses of concrete, and gently sloped metal rooflines unite in a masterpiece of modern design. Arranged for living primarily on one level – with recreation, theatre, and wine cellar on the lower level – every room on the main level opens to the outdoors for a seamless connection with the natural surroundings of approximately 1.1 acres.

Whether enjoying the recreational amenities at the front of the home or lingering on the rear entertainment terrace overlooking expanses of lawn and the private wooded setting, this home is truly meant for California indoor/outdoor living. The outside beauty transcends naturally to the inside where high vaulted ceilings are paneled in cedar, floors are finished in honey-stained oak, and countertops are uniquely appointed in Chroma quartz creating a lustrous reflective surface.

Clean contours and entire walls of glass permeate the open design, which boasts an uninterrupted flow amid the main living areas. Nowhere is the modern expression of style more apparent than in the dramatic kitchen with its European cabinetry, sleek countertops, and artful display of mosaic tiles – a spacious haven for any epicurean. The home’s personal retreats are perfectly arranged with a privately located master suite and adjoining office plus a dedicated wing with three additional bedrooms, each opening to the pool courtyard.

Augmenting the accommodations is a poolside guest house complete with kitchen, bedroom, and full bath. Adding to the appeal of this impressive home is its easy access to Sand Hill business centers, Stanford University, Silicon Valley commute routes, and top-rated Portola Valley schools.
