Inside, a warm and welcoming grandeur unfolds with towering ceilings and floating bridge walk to the private master retreat. Three additional bedroom suites,with one located on the ground floor with a private entrance,are ideal for family. Perfect for today's work from home lifestyle is the mezzanine-level library office. Entertaining is complimented by a two story Chef's kitchen an adjoining family room, and a wine cellar with stone walls and vintage beams. Topping it off are the private grounds with ample room for play and enjoyment. Excellent Los Altos schools and the village center are within walking distance.
