Rustic Charm and Views on 4 acres in Woodside

$2,995,000

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.

Neighborhood

Woodside, long a favorite among bicyclists and motorcyclists for its beautiful scenery and roads, offers a quaint business district, top-ranked schools, and plenty of history. Properties in the town are luxurious and spacious, nestled into the rolling hills but also near the charming downtown. 
Some of the first English-speaking settlers on the San Francisco Peninsula came to Woodside in the 1830s, and a stagecoach began traveling to the valley by the early 1850s. Gradually, farms and ranches replaced sawmills in the area, and wealthy San Franciscans began to build country homes. 
The Filoli estate, a 654-acre property with a 36,000-square-foot Georgian house built in 1915, is now a National Trust for Historic Preservation site that welcomes visitors. It has appeared in a variety of motion pictures and is the mansion seen from the air in the opening credits of ‘80s TV series "Dynasty." 
The town of over 5,400 people was incorporated in 1956 in an effort to bring more local control to curb rapid population growth and development in the area. Woodside is an affluent community with many past and present celebrity residents, including Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison, actress Michelle Pfeiffer, and musician Neil Young. Steve Jobs fought for years to demolish the Jackling House, a 30-room Spanish Colonial Revival mansion he owned on Mountain Home Road. 
A number of businesses are located in town, including the Woodside Bakery & Cafe, The Village Pub restaurant, Roberts Hardware & Tack, and Alice’s Restaurant, a popular gathering place. 
The median household income in Woodside is $213,000, according to 2013 United States Census Bureau data. Of the town’s 2,157 housing units, almost 90 percent are owner occupied. According to Forbes' 2014 list of America's Most Expensive ZIP Codes, homes in Woodside's 94062 ZIP code had a median price of $3,890,500, ranking it as the country's 17th priciest ZIP code.
