12797 NORMANDY LANE, LOS ALTOS HILLS
Positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac, this property evokes the timeless elegance of a European country manor with its stone cladding, signature turret, and detailed moldings. A succession of refined formal rooms and wonderful spaces for entertaining are all centered around the privacy of the rear grounds with pool and brick terrace. Extensive millwork and moldings, oak flooring with patterns of inlaid parquetry, and upholstered walls lend to the elegant ambiance. Spanning primarily one level, the floor plan is perfectly arranged for guests or extended family members with a private upstairs suite and a two-bedroom apartment located in the north wing. A separate south wing is comprised of four additional bedrooms including the primary suite that opens out to the pool. Adding to the appeal of this fine property is its close-in Los Altos Hills location just minutes to the Village for shopping and dining as well as commute routes accessing all of Silicon Valley.
