About This Home
As of September 2020What I love about this large remodeled home is that there is room for everyone! With 6 bedrooms, it is ideal for living and working from home. The European aesthetic makes it feel like a private villa. The remodeled kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The peninsula provides additional eating space. There are two master suites. (1) A spacious upstairs master bedroom with ample closet space. (2) A guest suite with a private bathroom on the ground floor. The living and family rooms open to the manicured backyard retreat. The pergola patio, lawn, and pool offer hours of outdoor relaxation. This home is located in the sought-after Highlands of Los Altos. Here you will find friendly neighbors, well-balanced schools, fun social gatherings, and a side entrance of Rancho San Antonio Preserve. Silicon Valley and the Bay Area are within easy reach. Nearby schools include Montclaire ES, Cupertino MS, Homestead HS, St Simon, St Francis, and Pinewood.
