Remarks

A mid-century treasure on the most coveted block of Covington Road. This exceptional opportunity spans approximately 0.6 acres with majestic redwoods, oaks, and sunswept open space. The circa 1957 all-shingled home has been well-maintained and is ready to move in today while plans for the future unfold. Vintage character abounds with natural brick and barn wood accents, hardwood floors, and a crisp, neutral palette throughout. Formal living and dining rooms plus bright and light kitchen and adjoining family room. Primary bedroom suite preceded by a large office, second bedroom suite, plus two bedrooms, one with direct access to the hall bath. There is also a spacious redwood barn with secondary driveway access, ideal for a car collector or future ADU. Just one mile from the Los Altos Village and with access to top-rated Los Altos schools, this is a rare opportunity in a premier location.
