Los Altos Real Estate, The Best Homes On Friday’s Broker’s Tour

Yesterday’s Los Altos/Los Altos Hills broker tour was small with just 9 homes.  Of these, only three were actual new listings.  Five properties were re-tours (ie. some had price reductions etc.) and one property was re-listed with a different brokerage. 

The house I thought most interesting was the property located at 1464 Fairway Drive in the Country Club area of Los Altos.  The listing agent is Jay Gertridge of Kerwin & Associates.  It is a 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath home listed price is $2,495,000.

What intrigued me about this property is what could be done with it.  It is on a large lot 26K+ and the house has a large partly unfinished attic/second story.  The home had been for sale in May 2007 and not much has changed except they added a second stairway to access the upstairs.  Prior to that, the only access to the upstairs was through the Master bedroom.  Its worth a look.

The other home I liked was 420 Valley View Drive.  It is listed by Dominic Nicoli of Intero Real Estate Services.  Overall, It’s a nice 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with a pool, listed at $2,395,000.
