From the moment you arrive, the home’s curb appeal stands out, featuring a thoughtfully designed, water-wise front yard.

The home features three well-sized bedrooms, all located along a central hallway with hardwood floors and plantation shutters. The remodeled hall bathroom is brightened by a skylight and has been updated with modern finishes. The spacious primary bedroom offers direct access to the covered rear patio and is complemented by a beautifully remodeled en-suite bathroom. This luxurious bath includes a large walk-in shower with a range of comfort features, including integrated music and two customizable lighting settings. Additional amenities of the home include a newer HVAC system with upgraded ductwork, an owned solar system that powers both the home and its systems, a tankless water heater, and an electric vehicle charging port. At the rear of the garage, a sizable bonus room offers endless possibilities, while the partially finished garage, complete with epoxy flooring, adds further flexibility. This welcoming Los Altos residence offers not only an exceptional location but also thoughtful upgrades, making it an ideal place to call home.
