About this home

Outstanding opportunity to purchase a 1.63-acre lot with a gracious turn-of-the-century home. Located in one of Los Altos's most coveted neighborhoods, this classic residence offers timeless appeal with modern upgrades. Rich pine coffered ceilings, a remodeled kitchen, and abundant natural light define the main living areas. Three spacious bedrooms feature soaring 11-foot ceilings, including a primary suite with updated en-suite bath and light-filled office. An additional guest suite provides perfect quarters for an au-pair, extended family, or visitors. The versatile basement and garden levels are ideal for recreation, hobby, and storage needs. A detached 3-car garage and motor court offer generous parking. The grounds include a pool, tennis court, brick courtyard, sprawling lawn, and mature trees across a park-like setting. Significant unfinished land with possibilities for vineyards, orchards, and leisure. Opportunity to create a lot split, resulting in two parcels (a one-acre parcel and a .63-acre parcel), allowing a higher building density on the property or to sell one of the lots. Approvals are currently in process. Convenient to Hwy 280, Los Altos Country Club, shopping, and top-rated schools.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance & Systems: Built in 1912, the property, despite modern upgrades, may require ongoing maintenance for older structural components or systems not explicitly mentioned as updated, potentially incurring future costs.
High Investment Threshold: The list price of nearly $6 million places this property in a very exclusive market segment, potentially narrowing the pool of prospective buyers.
Unfinalized Lot Split Approvals: While offering significant potential, the 'approvals currently in process' for the lot split introduce an element of uncertainty and potential delays for buyers looking to immediately capitalize on the subdivision.
