Virtual Open House: 229 Grove Drive, Portola Valley from Kavanaugh Group on Vimeo.

Enjoy inspiring views of the surrounding gardens from every room in this 4- bedroom, 2-bath home with pool and spa set on 1+ acres in desirable Portola Valley. According to previous owners, the house was designed in 1955 by Ellis Jacobs, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright’s architectural style is evident through the extensive use of skylights and expansive walls of glass that fill this single-level home with an abundance of natural light and create a seamless connection between the inside and outside areas. Wright’s influence is also seen in the open floor plan, built-in cabinetry, large brick fireplace and the use of other natural materials.

The spacious living room and adjacent kitchen, both with garden access, create the perfect space for large and small gatherings.

The master suite offers a private retreat with ample storage, convenient access to the pool and a spacious bath including a separate soaking tub.

A separate wing accommodates the remaining 3 bedrooms, 2 with built in desk units, a full bath and 2 bonus areas suitable for many uses. Relax or entertain in one of the many outside areas including the fully fenced pool, spa and shaded sitting area, 2 patios and a pergola overlooking mature landscaping that includes fruit trees and roses.

This quiet, central Portola Valley location is convenient to local shops and restaurants, Stanford University, Sand Hill Road, Hwy 280 and excellent Portola Valley Schools.
