485 Eleanor Drive, Woodside
Environmental Stewardship and Close-in Convenience
A classic modern farmhouse, quintessential Woodside setting, close-in convenience, and acclaimed Las Lomitas schools – this home has it all. Completed in 2013, the home’s modern design blends in seamlessly with the country setting and existing mid-century guest house designed by a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright. At the center of it all, opening from the main rooms, a vast deck and infinity-edge pool and spa invite outdoor living amid complete privacy. With “green” as the new standard of living, this home employs state-of-the-art passive design principles with high standards of energy efficiency like solar-powered electricity, radiant heat, and an EV charging station. With 4 bedrooms, including a main-level suite, plus a spacious poolside guest house with full kitchen, this property is ready for myriad lifestyle needs – and, the perfect escape from the fast pace of Silicon Valley living.
