Los Altos, Ca
In 1910, Paul Shoup, one of Los Altos’ founding fathers, built this magical home for his personal residence. The home expresses the Arts & Crafts Style in all of its distinctive charm, and contains remarkable architectural detail, expansive rooms, high ceilings and extensive casework. Further exemplifying its inviting appeal and character is an abundance of light and an excellent flow from the spacious rooms to the rear gardens.
A stand of majestic trees and the meandering Adobe Creek grace the property, which is bordered by the six acre Redwood Grove Nature Preserve. Los Altos Village and Shoup Park are easy strolls for the whole family.
You will find this home is the perfect setting for your joyous family times and gracious entertaining.
