    Summary of the home

    Welcome to this timeless treasure, a mid-century modern gem on the market for the first time in 50 years. With pristine finishes, Philippine mahogany walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows, this home presents all the design hallmarks of the era combined with all new flooring and fresh updates. A renovation by renowned architect Goodwin Steinberg in 1961 expanded the original 1957 home to include the main-level primary suite plus the upper-level addition. There are a total of 6 bedrooms and 3 baths plus a family room offering ample space for a variety of lifestyle needs. The setting is superb on approximately one-third acre with sun-swept privacy on a premier street less than one mile from the Los Altos Village.

    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.
