Welcome to the Los Altos Riviera. On a quiet cul-de-sac, this home has been rebuilt from the ground up, offering 4,140 sq ft across a 3,370 sq ft main residence and a 770 sq ft attached ADU, a flexible space for guests, extended stays, or a home office. Soaring ceilings fill the main living areas with light and a generous sense of volume, and the work throughout reflects an exacting standard, with custom cabinetry and top-of-line appliances. Outside, a sunlit patio and outdoor kitchen extend the living space into the yard, setting the stage for summer dinners, weekend gatherings, and quiet evenings under the open sky. Shoup Park and its creekside trails are nearby, Rancho San Antonio Preserve offers miles of hiking, and downtown Los Altos, with its village shops, cafes, and year-round community events, is minutes away. Located near Covington Elementary, Georgina P. Blach Junior High, and Los Altos High School (buyer to verify). Built without compromise, designed for living at its finest.

Central Los Altos, located between El Camino Real and Foothill Expressway, is a walkable and residential Los Altos neighborhood with a village-style downtown and tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Main Street at State Street, where sidewalk patios, independent boutiques, and coffee counters set a polished, low-key pace. Los Altos History Museum, Los Altos Stage Company, and Linden Tree Books act as cultural anchors with a distinctly local feel. Streets near downtown feature mid-century ranch homes and updated California contemporaries behind mature landscaping. Redwood Grove Nature Preserve adds a shaded, creekside pause near the civic campus. Farmers’ market mornings and evening dining keep the center active without feeling loud.
