What Are The Three Coolest Contemporary Homes in Los Altos and Los Altos Hills?

By David Blockhus on 12.19.11 - 2 Comments »

If you are a fan of contemporary architecture, the use of sustainable materials, or energy-efficient homes and want to live in Los Altos or Los Altos Hills the following listings are something you should take a look at.

27161 Moody Road, Los Altos Hills – This 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home is a visual masterpiece, a piece of art that one can live in. Sitting nicely on a 3-acre wooded lot, this light filled home is impressive. The residence has voluminous (and I mean high) ceilings, over 1500 square feet of deck space and a detached exercise room that could double as a beautiful private retreat. The home appears to be well-built (I haven’t read the property inspection) and uses beautiful materials. Ahhh, tranquility abounds. This home is listed at $4,249,000. by Art Sharif of Sotheby’s International Realty.

11885 Francemont Avenue, Los Altos Hills – This 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath home is listed at $4,995,000 by Alan Dunckel and Derk Brill of Alain Pinel Realtors. This is my favorite of the three properties. Located in a very private setting, this home is an oasis. The interior rooms are spacious but not so large that you feel like you are in an auditorium. The beautiful main hallway doubles as a showcase for large art pieces. There are fabulous covered outdoor entertaining spaces. It’s a great party house!

24580 Ruth Lee Court, Los Altos – Newly constructed on a western facing hillside lot, this home is composed of 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms. The views from the back of the property are absolutely stunning. To me, this home doesn’t have the wow factor that the other Los Altos Hills homes have. None-the-less, it is stunning. Lastly, I am not a huge fan of reverse floor plans (bedrooms located below the main living spaces) but I can see why the builder did it (to maximize those stunning views). The property is listed at $3,875,000. by Adina Vos of Morgan Lashley Distinctive Properties.
