Some homes are designed to fit into a neighborhood, while others are created to stand apart. Situated on a prime corner lot in the highly sought after Los Altos neighborhood and for the buyer who appreciates architecture, entertaining and a home with a personality all its own, this is a rare opportunity to own something genuinely different. Completely rebuilt in 2003, the home was designed with an emphasis on openness, natural light and effortless entertaining. From the moment you enter, soaring cathedral ceilings, expansive skylights and beautiful hardwood and natural slate details create an impressive sense of space and architectural character. The spectacular living room serves as the heart of the home, featuring a fireplace, custom built-ins and dramatic ceilings that extend to an unfinished upper level, offering the exciting potential to create two additional bedrooms. Skylights throughout the living area invite an abundance of natural light, with remote controlled shades and select windows that open electronically to welcome fresh coastal breezes. Designed for those who love to cook and entertain, the chef's kitchen opens seamlessly to the main living area and features stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a wine and beverage refrigerator, warming drawer and generous breakfast bar where guests can gather. Just beyond, the formal dining area offers additional cabinetry, a convenient serving area and French doors that open to a covered patio, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor entertaining. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring its own fireplace, a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a beautifully appointed bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower. A second primary suite with its own private bathroom offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family or multigenerational living. Additional highlights include a dedicated laundry room conveniently located off the kitchen, recessed lighting, central heating & AC, and a detached two-car garage. Ideally located near highly regarded Prisk Elementary and Stanford Middle School, this remarkable property combines the charm and convenience of an established Los Altos neighborhood with the individuality of a truly custom home.
