45 Bear Paw offers a rare opportunity to own an updated, single-level home just steps from the entry to Portola Valley Ranch. A 2 car garage with ample storage connects to the main level via interior elevator for easy, step-free access. Large windows frame the gracious living room, where soaring ceilings, designer chandeliers, and an attractive marble fireplace surround create a serene, light-filled space. Striking bar with custom glass shelving, wine fridge and floral wallpaper. Spacious kitchen offers handsome wood cabinetry, and recently updated counters and backsplash. Three generous bedrooms and two beautifully updated bathrooms are grouped together in bedroom wing. The primary suite enjoys its own peaceful views of Windy Hill, updated bath with roll-in shower, walk-in closet, and its own 100-sq.-ft. deck. Living space extends outdoors with a substantial patio and a 216-sq.-ft. attached sunroom. The Ranch is an extraordinary place to call home-- a 6 minute drive to the Ladera County Shopper and 8 minutes to Highway 280, yet offering a remote, resort-like feel with exceptional community amenities including heated pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, a community vineyard, gardens, and miles of hiking trails. Excellent Portola Valley schools. Roof recently replaced.
