    Summary of the home

A welcoming front porch leads to the three-story home, which is exceptionally bright and light with a palette of crisp whites, European white oak floors in every room, Restoration Hardware lighting, Phillip Jeffries accent walls, and unique stone and tile selections. The result is chic sophistication. Formal rooms give way to a tremendous great room plus there is a spacious lower-level recreation/media room and a wine cellar. There are 6 bedrooms and 6.5 baths, including bedroom suites on all three levels plus one that is ideal for a home office. Nana-style folding doors open to a covered patio and extra-deep grounds of approximately one-third acre with barbecue kitchen and fire pit in a beautifully landscaped and exceptionally private setting.

    Los Altos Community Information

    Located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains, Los Altos is one of the Bay Area's premier communities, due in large part to the city's natural beauty and convenient location between San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Originally an agricultural town with many summer cottages, Los Altos is now a thriving bedroom community known for its beautiful parks and tree-lined streets. Country lanes run throughout the town and are lined with cozy ranch-style houses as well as larger, custom Mediterranean, contemporary, and traditional-style homes. To help maintain the small-town feel of the city, commercial zones within Los Altos are strictly limited to the downtown area and the small shopping and office parks lining Foothill Expressway and El Camino Real. Bucolic charm and unmatched location make Los Altos a great place to call home.
