Woodside Retreat "Beside The Woods in Woodside"
Peaceful end-of-road privacy and a rustic, eclectic retreat once featured in the Almanac, cherished by one family for 50+ years. 4 sunny, wooded acres with sweeping hill and redwood views. Private gate opens directly onto the trails of 900+ acre Huddart Park. Close to town and Woodside schools.
This rustic 3600+ ft 3 beds/2.5 bths home is a study in Vintage Tahoe-style craftsmanship. The living room anchors the house with wood and brick walls, an open stone fireplace, and terracotta tile underfoot. Wooden beams carry into the country kitchen with Subzero and stainless appliances, and the dining room flows onto an expansive view deck over the gardens and pool. A home office overlooks the gardens, and a skylit staircase leads down to a gallery hallway with a stained glass window and a private family room/bedroom.
The showstopper: a dramatic Great Room "tavern," host to gatherings of 150, with 19' ceils and grand fireplace of original SF cobblestones. Custom bar built from salvaged San Carlos post office and pharmacy. A reclaimed-barn-siding full bath with steam shower. Large billiard room completes the tavern vibe.
Decks and brick paths trace the contour of the land to the pool, framed by redwoods on all sides. Sep 2-car garage.
