On nearly 2 acres in the prestigious Blue Oaks community, an enclave of custom homes surrounded by 217 acres of open space, this custom-built home showcases Mediterranean design and sweeping views from most rooms. Outside, the Terracotta clay tiled roof makes a striking first impression while inside, lofty ceilings, deep crown moldings, and floors in antique French tiles and fine oak exude timeless appeal. The two-story floor plan, plus lower-level garage, comprises formal living and dining rooms, a cherry-paneled office, and an updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, natural stone countertops, and high-end appliances. The adjacent family room has a focal point stone fireplace and built-in media center and most rooms open to the grounds where heritage oaks, bluestone patios, and a citrus orchard are surrounded by beautiful grounds and vistas. Upstairs, the primary suite is a luxurious retreat alongside a second suite that is ideal for guests, plus two additional bedrooms and a bath. A community pool, spa, and clubhouse are added bonuses, along with miles of hiking trails and access to top-rated Portola Valley schools. Welcome to the Blue Oaks lifestyle.
