At A Glance

A 1956 ranch, taken down to its footprint and rebuilt.

Three years ago this home was fully transformed: square footage added, the living space opened up, and every footprint of the floor plan remodeled. What remains is a single-level home built around natural light, a chef's kitchen, and a direct line out to the garden.

A First Look

Walk the property. Great room, garden, and facade.

The renovation opens with a skylit great room that runs straight through to the kitchen, then carries out to a resort-grade backyard. Below: the rooms that matter and the elevations that frame them. Book a private walk-through to see the rest in person.

The great room at 1677 Middleton, a bright open living and dining space under a long skylight, with pale wide-plank floors and an open sightline through to the kitchen and out to the backyard — The great room. A center skylight, picture windows on three sides, and a sightline that runs from the living room past the dining table into the kitchen.

The backyard at 1677 Middleton at twilight, with a freeform pool and raised spa, flagstone decking, lounge chairs, and the rear of the house glowing through picture windows — The backyard. A freeform pool and raised spa wrap a flagstone deck, with the great room glowing behind the glass at dusk.

The covered front entry of 1677 Middleton with a glass-paneled door flanked by sidelights, deep eaves, and two clipped topiaries on a poured-concrete porch — The front door. A glass-paneled entry under deep eaves, framed by clipped topiary.

Front elevation of 1677 Middleton at twilight, the pale stucco facade and warm-lit windows glowing against a pink dusk sky above a flagstone path through the native garden — At dusk. The facade lit warm against a pink Los Altos sky, the flagstone path drawing the eye to the door.

Front elevation of 1677 Middleton in full sun, showing the pale stucco facade, dark-framed windows, the new low roofline, and a drought-tolerant native garden of grasses and shrubs — Front elevation. The added square footage sits low and wide, fronted by a drought-tolerant native garden.

The walkway approach to 1677 Middleton, a row of stone pavers threading through the native grass garden toward the recessed front entry — The approach. Stone pavers thread through the native planting toward a recessed, sheltered entry.

Wide front view of 1677 Middleton across the lawn, showing the full single-level footprint, the new roof, dark-framed windows, and mature pines along the property line — The full footprint. A single level set wide on the lot, framed by the mature pines of the street.

Three-quarter street view of 1677 Middleton, showing the renovated facade with frosted-glass garage doors, a wood-clad entry bay, and a clean concrete drive under an overcast sky — From the street. Frosted-glass garage doors and a wood-clad entry bay signal the renovation before you reach the door.

“The kitchen is the heart of this home. The tools every home cook dreams of.”

The Residence

A house rebuilt around the way it is used.

Step through the front door and the home opens into a bright, spacious great room, filled with natural light from large picture windows. The space flows without interruption out to the manicured backyard. It is a setting that works equally well for family gatherings and for quiet evenings in.

The kitchen is the heart of it. Designed to blend function with charm, it is anchored by an abundance of cabinetry and an oversized center island that adds counter space and a place to pull up a stool for quick bites. The equipment list is serious: an 8-burner Wolf gas range with double ovens, two Miele dishwashers, a prep sink, a wine refrigerator, a convection microwave, and a built-in Sub-Zero. These are the tools every home cook dreams of.

The systems match the renovation. Energy efficiency comes from fifteen fully paid solar panels, and both heating and cooling run off a heat pump. Three years on from the rebuild, this is a home ready to be lived in. Come see it, and picture your life inside it.

The Neighborhood

Los Altos, as it lives.

Middleton Avenue sits in the heart of Los Altos, a quiet, tree-canopied town at the western edge of Silicon Valley. The blocks here are defined by single-level homes on generous lots, mature landscaping, and the kind of long-held calm that the rest of the valley has mostly traded away.

Downtown Los Altos, with its village shops and restaurants, is a short drive, and the commute corridors of the Peninsula are close at hand. It is a location known for its schools, its walkability, and a value that holds.
