Earlier era details like original mahogany millwork and parquet wood flooring, are complemented by designer selected colors, a Carrara marble kitchen, and luxurious bathrooms. The home has more than 7,600 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms, 2 offices, a den, plus tremendous recreation and family rooms, each with full bar. An elevator serves all four levels of the home culminating at the top-floor tower room with 360-degree views. Outside, romantic gardens with reflecting pond, waterfall, and spa create an idyllic setting for entertaining and relaxation. With proximity to both San Francisco and Silicon Valley, access to excellent schools, and just across from upscale dining and shopping, this amazing property truly offers the best of town and country living.
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.
