Discover this warm, ranch-style residence in an ideal, heart-of-Los Altos location! This home features a spacious eat-in kitchen, capacious bedrooms, hardwood floors throughout, plantation shutters, and real wood-burning fireplace.

Walk to Rancho Shopping Center (Safeway, Starbucks, restaurants, and more), south campus of Bullis Charter School (tops in state), and Los Altos School Districts Loyola Elementary School (highly rated), as well as McKenzie Park. Enjoy quiet weekends at home and hiking at close by Rancho Nature Preserve, yet benefit from convenient access to Foothill Expressway and 280. Just minutes to Google, Apple, and the rest of Silicon Valley. (Permit status of second bathroom unknown.)
