144 Alta Mesa Road | Woodside

Inspired by the architecture of traditional Norwegian farmsteads and thoughtfully designed for modern California living, this special residence is an inviting, livable home built with outstanding craftsmanship, authenticity, and a deep respect for the natural environment. Entirely rebuilt and expanded in 2002 under the direction of acclaimed architect David Leavengood, the design embraces the beauty of its setting on more than one-half acre with views of the western hills and Kite Hill Wildflower Preserve. Throughout the home, carefully selected materials reflect a commitment to enduring quality, including solid cedar, old-growth redwood, and wide-plank Tennessee longleaf pine. The grounds are equally compelling, having been originally conceived by noted horticulturists to complement the unique landscape, creating a garden environment rich with native species, specimen plantings, fruit trees, winding pathways, and seasonal color. Adding the finishing touch is this home’s access to the highly regarded Woodside School (K-8) and proximity to the Woodside Village.
