About This Home

As of September 2019

Live on the most prestigious street in all of Old Los Altos a short distance to the downtown Village of Los Altos. The home is an elevated example of original Craftsman style, circa 1911, with expansive shingled residence featuring exquisite period details combined with absolute modern luxury. Registered as a historic resource and locally significant home, the earlier era beckons you with tall board and batten wainscot, coffered ceilings, and predominantly original glass in the true divided light windows. 5 bedrooms, 3 remodeled bathrooms, an office, a playroom, plus a tremendous recreation/media room with retractable cinema screen. The grounds are extraordinary and not to be missed. An outdoor kitchen and linear fireplace distinguish the setting along with a tucked-away spa and children's play area all on almost one-half acre entwined with professionally landscaped gardens. What are you waiting for? Nearly 1/2 acre, walk to town. Incredible value.
