Set in a quiet pocket of North Los Altos just a few blocks from the Village, 277 Alta Vista Avenue stands out for its privacy, placement, and easy indoor/outdoor flow. The house sits well back from the street behind a gated, landscaped courtyard, creating a front setting that’s both beautiful and primed for outdoor living. The living spaces are well-defined and intentionally connected. The living room enjoys two picture windows and a full-height brick fireplace, while the adjacent family room offers a more relaxed space with yard views. The dining room has access to the kitchen and back deck, allowing both areas to function together. The sky-lit kitchen has granite counters, white cabinetry, and a lovely bay window. All three bedrooms have new carpet, including a primary suite with doors to the courtyard and side yard, plus ample closet space and an updated bath with a vast quartz-topped vanity. The private backyard is layered with a large deck and lower patio surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping. A detached, oversized two-car garage sits at the rear of the lot, accessed by a gravel drive, with additional space for a workshop. And, a large garden shed has potential for a detached studio or office. Classic and charming, moments to downtown and top-rated Los Altos schools!
