24509 Portola Avenue

The high ceilings, skylights and windows illuminate the warm neutral palette plastered walls that provide a rich depth of color and grace that sets the tone throughout the home. Walking into the entry and formal living room the walls are perfect for showcasing art, with the rich wood accents of built-in benches, cabinets, and bookcases add a complementary elegance.   The kitchen opens to the dining room and adjacent outdoor space. It features sleek high-gloss enamel cabinets, stainless steel countertops and shelves that harmonize with the warmth of wood and a full suite of Miele appliances. It also includes a sit-up counter for conversing or informal dining along with the white board wall to become the “command center” for the home. Concealed within the clean kitchen design is a flush mount 8-foot door that opens to a walk-in pantry that is an enviable “behind the scenes” space for both the chef or a snack-seeking resident.   Folding glass walls expand the southern-facing living area by over 1,000 square feet, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces, complete with a grill and fire pit.   The gracious primary suite emulates a room at an exclusive resort and spa. This includes the Scandinavian wood burning stove, floating vanity, freestanding tub, rain shower and custom translucent resin and wood doors. Efficient design elements that are inspired by marine-grade quality materials, lead to an ipe deck that connects you to the outdoors.   Access a versatile 200-square-foot lifestyle space from the home or a private secure side gate, featuring a copper outdoor shower for post-adventure refreshment.   Energy-efficient features include solar panels and a 3,600-gallon water reclamation tank. Custom details, like owner-crafted outdoor sconces, reflect the ingenuity and care put into every aspect of this home.   This 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence, with dining, family, and living rooms, also offers bonus space for an additional bedroom/office/media room/showroom.
