Freshly updated on one acre just moments from downtown Los Altos. This spacious home is primed for entertaining with both formal and informal public rooms seamlessly interconnected. The living room is placed at the front of the home with a striking soapstone fireplace, and the dining room sits just slightly above with easy access to the kitchen. The natural stone-appointed kitchen, casual dining area, and expansive family room with fireplace all open out to a fabulous balcony that spans the entire length of the home. A guest bedroom is located on one side of the home with an adjacent full bath, and on the other side are two bedrooms overlooking the front yard, and the primary suite with a contemporary en suite and walk-in closet. The lower level consists of an extensive flexible-use room perfect for a home gym, while providing substantial additional storage space. The back patio and lawn area are surrounded by mature trees, with a quaint footbridge crossing over a shallow, seasonal creek bed for alternative access to the remaining expansive grounds. Attached oversized two-car garage with motor court provides ample off-street parking. Just over one-half mile from Gardner Bullis Elementary!
