Owner info
Year Purchased: 1997
About the owner: We searched for almost a year for the perfect property to construct our dream home close to downtown Los Altos. We spent the next year designing a gorgeous Tuscan inspired villa with the thought that this would cure our wonderlust. It didn't work. Within two years of completing our dream house we decided to move from the San Francisco Bay Area to Italy with our then 8 year old son for one year. That one year has turned into 10 years. We bought our 2nd "dream' house in the heart of Chianti and took a year restoring it. We spend our time in both California and Italy. Many of the furnishing and accessories were purchased in France. Our decorator helped us create what is a magical home. We have shared our home with many, many guests over the years and everyone leaves yearning to return. You will feel as though you have entered a private world not in California but somewhere in Italy!
Why the Owner Chose Los Altos:
We built this custom home for ourselves in 1997. It is a fabulous property. We spend about half of our time there and half our time at our property in Tuscany.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The property is a wonderful oasis, located in the heart of Silicon Valley. The charming village of Los Altos is a lovely 5-10 minute walk from the house. Palo Alto and Stanford University are about a 10 minute drive and San Francisco is about a 40 minute drive. The San Francisco Bay area is not only a great place to work, but it is also an extraordinary place to vacation. There are many cultural venues (theatres, museums, universities)and recreational sites (the hugely popular Paramount Great America Theme Park, the Santa Cruz beach and boardwalk, Half Moon Bay, the San Francisco Bay, Carmel, Palo Alto, San Francisco, etc) within a one hour radius.
