This is it! A gorgeous English Tudor with views of the Pacific Ocean and Silicon Valley below. This property’s driveway is paved, and it’s right on CA 35, 1.6 miles from route 9: an easy drive to delightful shopping in Saratoga Village. The location maximizes privacy: there is only one neighboring home, which is not visible. In the other three directions you are enveloped by Upper Stevens Canyon to the east and Mid-Peninsula Open Space to the west. No more than 100 feet away, across from the base of the driveway, trailheads lead to a rich complex of mountainous and open-space trails. Highlights include a primary bedroom suite with a window seat that looks west toward the ocean. Spectacular sunsets are the norm, and on a clear day you can see for miles out to sea. In addition to two other large bedrooms upstairs, a downstairs secondary suite, lined by beautiful oak bookcases, has its own walk-in closet, attached office and bath with jetted tub, and could easily serve as a guest room or the primary suite. The rest of the downstairs has an open floor plan, with dozens of windows bringing in light and woodland vistas from the 8-acre property. A grand family room, with a vaulted ceiling, creates a perfect space for gatherings. A walkway down to a yoga or garden-setting platform invites feelings of being among the giant boulders in Yosemite. In addition to all this, the approximately 500 s.f. garage has been converted to a professional-grade recording studio, designed by the Bay Area’s top engineers and designers. The double-walled construction mutes sound waves over the entire audio spectrum. It’s extremely unusual—perhaps unique—to find a residential home with this level of recording-studio capacity built into it. If you choose not to use it for recording music, however, it could also make an idyllic and entirely private quiet space, office or theater. This home is served by top Saratoga schools.
