About This Home
∎
Beautifully transformed with designer finishes and exceptional indoor-outdoor living, this one-level Los Altos home presents a fresh, sophisticated setting. Just one mile from the Village, the home was extensively remodeled down to the studs and reconfigured with an open-concept design in 2014. The home features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with white oak floors, abundant natural light, and refined architectural details throughout. Tray ceilings, crown moldings, numerous skylights, and thoughtfully selected lighting enhance the interiors. A spacious formal living room, open formal dining area, and family room provide inviting gathering spaces, complemented by a poolside sunroom designed for indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of it all is the beautifully appointed kitchen with quartzite countertops, Carrara marble backsplashes, and quality stainless steel appliances. The thoughtfully arranged floor plan provides privacy for the primary suite, with three additional bedrooms and a full bath in a separate wing. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds create an inviting setting for relaxation and entertaining. An expansive deck with built-in barbecue overlooks the newly resurfaced, solar-heated swimming pool, while a generous side yard provides additional outdoor space. A detached, oversized two-car garage with a workshop, central air conditioning, and distributed sound speakers add convenience. Fresh exterior paint, updated front landscaping, and access to excellent Los Altos schools, all nearby, complete the appeal.

about this
Explore the Neighborhood
∎
Los Altos represents a distinctive approach to Silicon Valley living, where residential tranquility takes precedence over commercial development. Tree-canopied streets and thoughtful zoning restrictions have preserved the city's small-town atmosphere despite its location in one of the world's most dynamic tech regions.
The downtown district, encompassing six walkable blocks, maintains a carefully curated collection of over 150 independent businesses. Local establishments, from family-owned restaurants to boutique retail shops, create an environment that encourages community gathering and interaction. The Los Altos Town Crier, with its offices on Main Street, continues the tradition of hyperlocal journalism that keeps residents connected.
Community programming reflects the city's commitment to small-town values. Regular farmers' markets bring regional producers to the city center, while seasonal events and outdoor film screenings transform downtown spaces into community living rooms. These gatherings maintain the social fabric that defines Los Altos' character.
