Designed by renowned Arcanum Architecture, this home was completed in 2012 on the most sought-after street in Old Los Altos. Exuding a modern farmhouse design, the home features a standing seam metal roof and awning, cabinetry handmade by Mennonites in upstate New York, and eco-friendly features that include owned solar power, EV charging, and synthetic lawn. The open design is fully oriented to the grounds with retractable stacking glass or French doors connecting to wonderful outdoor spaces on three sides. There is a dedicated office, 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, plus a large recreation room with patio and staircase to the rear grounds. A detached 1-car garage, with rear alley access, is currently designed as a home gym. Raised vegetable beds, an awning-covered dining terrace, plus built-in barbecue center completes the setting. Plus, this home is just down the street from Shoup Park and blocks to the Village.
