This custom home is a rarely available one-story floor plan in the sought-after Blue Oaks neighborhood – an enclave of custom homes surrounded by 285 acres of open space. Positioned on approximately one acre, the setting presents one of the best views of Windy Hill in all of Blue Oaks. From the rooftop deck, a wonderful place for entertaining conveniently serviced by a dumbwaiter from the kitchen, the views also extend across the Peninsula to Mt. Diablo and the San Francisco skyline. Designed with entertaining in mind, both indoors and out, the floor plan is open and flowing – from the gallery foyer to the central gathering rooms with views at every turn. A separate wing accommodates the home’s 4 bedrooms, some of which are customized for additional uses including office and media space. A community pool, spa, and clubhouse are added bonuses along with miles of hiking trails and access to top-rated Portola Valley schools.
