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.
