About 868 Washington Heights Rd

Welcome to 868 Washington Heights Rd — a one-of-a-kind A-frame-inspired retreat on a private 0.5-acre lot, boasting jaw-dropping mountain and sunset views. This fully remodeled 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom masterpiece blends striking design with top-tier functionality and modern luxury. Inside, White Oak luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout an airy open-concept layout. The dramatic circular-ceiling lounge with exposed beams sets the tone for the home’s bold style. The designer kitchen features quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, a pot filler, exposed wood beam ceiling, and a built-in pantry for optimal storage. An upstairs loft offers flexibility as a 5th bedroom or bonus space, while a dedicated office showcases stunning A-frame views. All bathrooms are finished in Portola’s signature “Dune Shack” limewash, and the spa-like primary suite impresses with floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile, a large walk-in closet, and a luxurious layout.
