301 Olive Hill Lane,
Woodside
Set on 3.4 acres in central Woodside, and bordering the Fleishhacker Estate Conservancy, this home was designed by renowned architect Goodwin Steinberg. Inside and out, the home seamlessly blends into the natural beauty of the surroundings with organic appointments that include copper chandeliers by Albert Guibara, stained glass windows by Hermann Lirk, and walls in clear vertical grain cedar and stone. Expansive windows and glass doors fill the space with abundant natural light and towering ceilings expand the dimensions. Spanning two levels, the home is designed primarily for one-level living with the main level offering exceptional spaces for entertaining, two separate offices for remote work, plus a luxurious primary suite. The lower level reveals three additional bedrooms, including one en suite, a central play area, large storage area or potential fitness room, and a wine cellar. The beautifully landscaped grounds, originally designed by Thomas Church, encompass enchanting gardens, inviting courtyards, open meadows, and a generous wraparound deck overlooking the sun-drenched pool. Completing this exceptional residence is its convenient proximity, just over a mile to the Town Center, with access to the highly-regarded Woodside School.
