Remarks

This exceptional mid-century modern residence, designed by Derk Vyn, blends the elegance of Frank Lloyd Wright and Eichler with architectural sophistication. With breathtaking West-facing hill views and a serene, forested rear, this home offers a peaceful sanctuary. Corner windows, soaring ceilings, and rich wood, stone, and tile accents define its character, while the updated kitchen and baths feature top-tier appliances and modern finishes. The lower level, with a separate entrance, includes the owner’s suite with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with dual sinks and a jacuzzi tub. An additional suite, with a kitchen, bedroom, and central room with a fireplace, offers flexibility as a guest suite, extra bedroom, or potential ADU. The middle level includes a bonus room, perfect for a bedroom, with private backyard access, plus a laundry room and garage. The top level features a chef’s kitchen overlooking the dining room through floor-to-ceiling windows, with bi-fold doors creating a seamless flow to the living area. A tranquil bedroom faces the tree-filled side and backyard. The Zen-inspired front yard leads to the spacious backyard, raised bed gardens, gated bike path access leading to local schools and the Stanford campus. FSH Home.
