This stunning custom home is located in prestigious Old Los Altos just three-tenths of a mile to the Village for shopping and dining. Built in 1999, the home is a contemporary interpretation of a Craftsman with walls layered in slate tiles and floors in limestone, concrete, and glass. The two-story home has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths plus an office and is exceptionally bright with towering ceilings and transom glass above myriad picture windows and French doors. A detached studio apartment provides added accommodations, a spacious courtyard terrace is perfect for outdoor living, and a wine cellar and recreation/media room add the finishing touch.
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.
