The property embodies the hallmark characteristics of authentic ranch homes: a single-story layout with a long, low-pitched roofline, creating that iconic horizontal profile that connects seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The home's design reflects the rich heritage of early California haciendas and ranchos, with their emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. 690 Torwood Lane features spacious, open floor plans that separate living areas from bedrooms for optimal comfort and privacy. This property boasts vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, creating dramatic interior spaces filled with natural light. Sliding glass doors opening to patios, and large windows establish the indoor-outdoor connection that defines the California ranch lifestyle. The home sits on a generous parcel, and includes a spa/hot tub and in-ground pool. This rare offering represents more than just a home it's an opportunity to own a piece of California's architectural heritage while enjoying the modern amenities and exceptional quality of life and great schools that Los Altos provides.
