The perfect blend of old and new, this iconic Los Altos home is the picture of Arts and Crafts beauty and located on a prestigious street in Old Altos.

Each room boasts a unique ode to the past with features that include original wood accents, box beamed ceilings, ornate tile, and stunning stained glass. Enjoy a contemporary lifestyle with flowing, interconnected public rooms, plus private spaces to relax and unwind. Craft wonderful meals in the gourmet kitchen, savor the comforts afforded by the expansive master bedroom suite, or spend afternoons lounging on the covered veranda. Adding to the luxury, flagstone paths lead around the entire home through lush gardens, perfectly positioned outdoor rooms, a Japanese-style garden, sport court, and dining terrace. A true masterpiece!
