    Summary of the home

    Extensively remodeled and expanded, on approximately 0.86 acres, this exceptional gated property offers luxury living on a rare legacy setting. Once the site of one of Los Altos’ earliest “in-town farm” developments, the property today has been transformed for extraordinary entertaining on a grand scale. Expansive stone terraces, lawn, decks, and a heated loggia connect the indoors to the outdoors, all designed for effortless gatherings around the pool, spa, and waterfalls. The two-story home features 4 bedrooms, an office, 4 full baths, and 2 half-baths, plus a separate 1-bedroom, 2-bath ADU, also ideal for guests or extended celebrations. Generous proportions and an open layout are supported by primary and caterer’s kitchens, a full bar, wine cellar, and a separate living room or media room. The luxe primary suite and dedicated office are located on the main level, with three additional bedroom suites plus lounge upstairs. All just moments from the Los Altos Village and served by excellent Los Altos schools.

    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.
