Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1955, this mid-century modern home is well-maintained and described as move-in ready, but it remains largely dated. While the kitchen has had a partial refresh, the cabinetry and overall finishes appear to be 20+ years old. The presence of original redwood paneling, single-pane glass walls, and the listing's suggestion of 'potential to build new' indicates that while functional, the home requires significant updates to systems and aesthetics to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 90042, living area = 3005.
The mid-century modern design features floor-to-ceiling glass walls that showcase sweeping, unobstructed views of the Portola Valley hills from nearly every room.
Situated on over two acres, the generous lot size provides a rare opportunity for significant expansion or the construction of a custom estate to maximize the property's value.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3005, other record living area = 2190.
Originally built in 1955, the home may require significant updates to its vintage systems and structural elements to meet modern energy efficiency and building standards.
With only three bedrooms at a $4.25 million price point, the current layout may be restrictive for larger families or buyers seeking more immediate interior utility.
Sweeping, unobstructed views define this mid-century modern home, set on more than two acres in central Portola Valley - just minutes from interstate 280, Stanford University, & grocery stores. Entire walls of glass frame the hills from nearly every room, while beamed & paneled ceilings & classic design elements like the fireplace & redwood-paneled walls reflect the home's architectural roots & connection to its natural surroundings. The home offers a light-filled environment that is ready to move right in. The expansive setting & generous lot-size present exceptional potential to further transform, expand or even build new to fully capitalize on the extraordinary views. The predominantly one-level floor plan offers comfortable living with a combination of open gathering spaces, private bedrooms, plus a flexible-use lower level that includes a possible office & fourth bedroom. Outdoor spaces are highlighted by a large screened-in porch & deck, providing effortless indoor-outdoor living, all oriented toward the breathtaking Portola Valley views. Rarely does a property offer such a compelling combination of immediate livability & long-term potential, all centered around some of the most iconic, sweeping views of Portola Valley.
