About This Home

As of April 2018

Live in North Los Altos on a street that is coveted for both its convenience as well as neighborhood charm. Lovingly owned by the same family for over three decades, this former carriage house was converted in the 1930s into a 2-story home with European country farmhouse appeal. The home could be updated or the land is a fantastic opportunity to build your dream home in an idyllic setting. According to the city of Los Altos planning department, the house is not historic and one could construct up to a 3,973sf home (not including basement). Approximately 93 feet front footage for a home with grand curb appeal. Mature, beautiful trees along perimeter of property offer ideal privacy. One-of-a-kind, modified carriage design with steep pitched roof and vaulted living room. Less than one mile to the downtown Village of Los Altos.
