869 Terrace Drive, Los Altos

Elegantly crafted with contemporary and traditional styles, this executive estate is nestled in the prestigious Country Club of Los Altos, perfectly suited to host year-round get-togethers with its well-designed floor plan and spectacular grounds.  Beginning with lush plantings, rose bushes, azaleas, and camellias, there is a majestic oak tree that greets you as you walk along the interlocking stone paver walkway up to the covered front porch and entry.   The home’s design incorporates a collection of formal spaces with vaulted ceilings, decorative lighting, hardwood flooring, and glass windows and doors streaming in sunlight and views of the cascading gardens. Boasting two primary suites offering tastefully appointed bathrooms, one offers a sliding door to the backyard and the other suite includes a bonus room/office niche plus a private side entrance.  Three additional bedrooms share a hall bathroom with access to the pool plus a regal-style powder room for guests.  Enjoy an afternoon in the comfort of your backyard - taking a dip in the refreshing pool and spa, cultivating your veggie garden and/or al fresco dining under the shaded patio.
