Designed in 1955 by Ellis Jacobs, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, this property is an example of Wrights organic architecture style one that evolves naturally from the relationship between the site and the home. The single-level home with its linear design eliminates harsh right angles and focuses on triangular shapes, brightened at every turn with skylights and massive walls of glass. A chorus of natural materials from the radiant-heated tile floors to the wood-paneled ceilings blends in harmony with the beauty of the surroundings, while numerous updates enhance livability for today. A separately fenced pool and spa, sun-swept glens, and prolific rose garden invite outdoor living in a most private setting of more than one acre. Located on a non-through street in the heart of central Portola Valley, this is indeed a very special place to call home.
