Rare opportunity in the heart of Old Los Altos. Set on a coveted 22,651 sq ft (½+ acre) lot, this special property offers an exceptional location just moments from downtown dining, cafés, and boutiques. Bordering the serenity of Lincoln Park, the home enjoys a unique park-side setting with a sense of openness, privacy, and natural beauty that is hard to find.
