9 SUMMIT ROAD, WOODSIDE
2 bed / 2 bath / 2,850 square feet

“Contemporary” and “rustic” are not words you frequently find next to each other in real estate promotional materials.  The type of buyer who wants a secluded log cabin and the type of buyer who wants an ultra-contemporary architectural marvel are usually at opposite ends of the spectrum.  This property, however, makes as convincing of an argument as any for why sometimes opposites meld perfectly together.

Situated on a breathtaking three-acre lot dotted with mature redwoods and patches of wildflowers, this stunning main residence is accessed by a long driveway.  The framing of the house is in timber and somehow manages to simultaneously catch your eye and blend naturally into its surroundings.  The dramatic windows take full advantage of the incomparable view of Silicon Valley (see above), and lofty ceilings anchored by logs further enhance the sense of majesty that comes from both the architectural and naturalistic aspects of the residence.

The property is also being sold with a five-acre buildable lot situated alongside.

Listed by Coldwell Banker for $5,500,000
