Serene bay views welcome you to this single-level, 3 bedroom, office/bonus room, 2 bath private retreat in Portola Valley's best kept secret, Los Trancos Woods. Set among mature oaks, enjoy sweeping bay views of three bridges, San Francisco, Stanford University, and the East Bay. The secluded property is on a cul-de-sac just steps across the road from a small lake and acres of open space with walking trails. Live in a private world apart, yet minutes from Stanford, 280, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and all Silicon Valley has to offer. The open floor plan with smaller bedrooms was modeled after a Usonian design of Frank Lloyd Wright. The remodeled home now includes an updated kitchen with marble counters, a larger master bedroom / bathroom and another large room that can function as a dining room / living room next to a tranquil Zen garden outside. Vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and multiple skylights capture abundant natural light. In the master bath, relax in the jetted tub while gazing at heritage oaks. Custom features integrate the stunning views into the living spaces. The expansive deck, spanning the length of the house, is ideal for entertaining or viewing nighttime city lights around the Bay.
