1510 Julie Lane

1510 Julie Lane
Los Altos, CA

Come to the home that boasts the biggest lot on the street, the one the builder of the subdivision saved for himself to build his family home. Named on a street after his daughter, Julie, the builder carefully crafted a home built for endurance, for comfort, and for parties. The whimsy of the dolphins, hand carved in the front flagstone posts, give you a hint of the fun you can have inside.

The back offers a resort lifestyle without having to leave home. The main focal point of the back yard is a pool with flowing waterfall made of natural stone elements. A generous proportioned cabana or fourth bedroom sits in close proximity. It has sliding glass doors that open up for a calming, alfresco atmosphere, complete with wet bar. As a cabana, the room is reminiscent of a Caribbean vacation with its light wood paneling and bamboo-decorated bar.

A nearby breezeway has a built-in barbeque ideal for outdoor eating or bringing in the house for a more formal occasion. Generous is the best word to describe the home. The rooms are all generously proportioned, especially the living room that can comfortably accommodate groups in the dozens. At almost every juncture, there is a large window that offers garden views, one, off the master bathroom, reveals a secluded garden, just for the master’s enjoyment.

12791 West Sunset Drive, Los Altos Hills CA

Live in one of the most prestigious communities in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Peninsula. Own commanding, panoramic views where you can see from the Marin hills over the San Francisco cityscape to Mount Hamilton and beyond. City lights sparkle in the night. The nearly one and a third acre lot layout largely protects view shed.

The home is 9/10th of a mile to downtown Los Altos (per Google) at the end of a private drive and located in a section of Los Altos Hills coveted for its quiet and views. The property is extensively landscaped, including a beautiful lawn framed with stone retaining wall planters plus a huge new terrace for a vineyard or play area. It is a perfect blend of nature’s elegance with manicured space. Relax on the deck taking in the expansive views and all of its peacefulness, or enjoy the gated pool with cottage for endless hours of fun. Tastefully remodeled home with Chef’s kitchen, 4bd/3.5ba. Cottage with full bath being used as 4th bedroom now.

For those anticipating the need for more space in the future, the home offers a variety of expansion opportunities.  One can easily add another bedroom with en-suite bath to the home or expand the home further based on city-approved plans for expansion to 6,000+ SqFt on the grandfathered 9,242 SqFt of MDA (7,500 MDA typical for properties with views).  A great added value to the property even if you don’t need more space right now.

All of your dreams are possible on this phenomenal Los Altos Hills property offering an incomparable combination of being close to town, quiet at the end of a private drive, panoramic views, an abundance of level lawn space and extra expansion approved as you desire.
