Summary

3 Bedrooms & 2 Baths + 2 Home Offices, each with a Twin Bed (i.e. this could list as 5 bedrooms). There’s also a potential third home office in the downstairs flat.

All three home offices currently have high speed Comcast Blast Internet.

• The first office is in the main house, part of the Master BR suite.
• The second office is in its own separate casita uphill from the house with a panoramic view.
• The third home office is a full apartment with a full bath and kitchenette.

All offices are beautifully designed for video conferencing. Here the present homeowner does a ZOOM presentation from the office of the Master BR suite.

Renovation History

Amazing Location

Close to Apple in Cupertino, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Stanford etc. but also a complete retreat from the hectic stress of Silicon Valley.

• This home under the trees was remodeled by a Harvard-trained architect.
• Located on historic Moody Road, 5 minutes from Freeway 280 and close to the intersection of Freeway 280 and Freeway 85; 15 minutes drive to Palo Alto; 20 minutes drive to Stanford; 20 minutes drive to San Jose; 40 minutes drive to downtown San Francisco, but you feel as if you’re in the country with birds chirping — no freeway traffic noise.
• Do your morning run/ workout at Hidden Villa Organic Farm only a few minutes jog away (many hiking trails start here), at Boronda Lake 5 minutes’ drive away, or at the Foothill College Fitness Center 8 minutes’ drive away.
• Meditation Center nearby. Fountains on patio & deck.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Sustainability Features

2019. New roof installed with filtered gutters for rainwater capture

Landmark Pro. 40 year warranty. As part of installation, a water filtration gutter system was installed on both sides of the house to capture and deliver rainwater to two 500 gallon tanks under the deck. Roofer will do tank installation for the new owner.

Natural temperature modulation

Shady haven sheltered by heritage oak trees that’s 20 degrees cooler than Silicon Valley in the summer and cozy in winter; deer, squirrels, birds, and the great frog chorus (when it rains).

Greywater Reuse

All greywater is captured and directed to large oak trees. All bath and sink water goes to keep these heritage trees watered, so you don’t need to feel guilty taking baths. The owner has intentionally chosen not to replace the old redwood septic built by the original owner; the Japanese maple nearby is thriving.

UPSTAIRS – THE MAIN HOUSE
We’ve preserved some of the antiquity of this more than fifty year old house, the natural wood in several rooms, the silhouette of the rifle that the original huntsman who lived here hung on the wall. But we’ve also added ten skylights and made some rooms white and bright.

Studio – Uphill Office separate from the house with panoramic view

Uphill from the house is a second office, a private 10 x 20 ft space, with the same high speed internet as the house and a panoramic view downhill. Great for use as a home office or artist’s studio. It’s well-insulated, so a single space heater keeps it warm. Below is the fern garden and start of the path uphill.
