Woodside, CA-November 4, 2011 – Luxury Home Magazine of the Silicon Valley, Peninsula, and Coastal region presents a gated English country manor in Woodside, CA. Located on 6.86+/- acres on one of Woodside’s most prized streets this unique custom-built home is now on the market and being offered exclusively by Steve Gray of Coldwell Banker Previews International.

Restful views of rolling countryside give way to Western hill views from this private enclave. The carefully conceived architecture is a blend of traditional styling and English Country, and uses the most superb materials throughout. Indoor and outdoor spaces have been given equal consideration and capture the essence of sophisticated yet relaxed California living. Colorful country gardens provide seasonal color, tall redwoods provide privacy, and the native terrain provides the perfect backdrop. Interior living spaces, whether formal or informal, open to views, Connecticut bluestone patios, a sparkling pool, fragrant rose gardens, a putting green and more.

This gated estate has been designed to accommodate family and guests, and possibly a caretaker or au pair. There are three residences all built to the same exacting standards. The main home has a wonderful floor plan that provides flexibility, and can be customized to suit your family’s needs. The formal entry is elegant and gracious and opens on right to the living salon and on the left to the formal dining area, creating the perfect flow for entertaining. The gourmet kitchen has everything an accomplished chef would need, but is just as successful at serving up microwave popcorn or condiments for the outdoor BBQ. The adjacent family room with soaring ceilings, cast stone fireplace, and wall-mounted big screen TV is sure to be the most used space. With easy access to the outdoor patio and barbeque center, guests and family can circulate and gather in the kitchen, as we know they always do. There are 3 bedrooms, including two multi-room master suites that offer a sanctuary-within-a-sanctuary...with such amenities as a dedicated work-out space, spacious, spa-like baths, and custom closets that give new meaning to the term ‘walk-in’.

Additional features include a butler’s pantry, a dedicated office, (there is also an office area in one of the master suites), a spacious 3-car garage, with loft storage and workshop area, large black bottom pool and spa, beautiful gazebo next to the 9-hole putting green and a 600 amp emergency generator.

There is a two bedroom, 1 bath ‘gate house’ with full kitchen, and private sitting room with fireplace, and access to an outdoor deck that offers gorgeous sunset views. A separate guest cottage has a single bedroom with custom built-ins, a full bath, and living area with kitchenette. Soaring ceilings and large picture windows that frame some of the loveliest of the garden views make this a wonderful retreat for guests or as an artist/writers studio.

The property feels remote, but is close to the Town of Woodside’s center, and just minutes from 280 and Sand Hill Road. Privacy, luxury and livability–this property has it all and is now on the market for $17,500,000 and can be viewed by visiting Luxury Home Magazine Silicon Valley or Luxury Home Magazine Blog.
