Los Altos, 198 Pine Lane

We were pleased to represent the seller in the sale of this thoughtfully designed custom residence, which beautifully blends contemporary comfort with timeless Mid-century modern inspiration. Originally built in 1960, the home is centered around a stunning open-air atrium—an architectural focal point that creates a private, light-filled oasis ideal for everyday relaxation as well as effortless entertaining.

Set in highly desirable North Los Altos, the property offers nearly 2,800 square feet of well-planned living space, featuring 4 bedrooms and a combination of two full and two half baths. From the moment you enter, the home makes a lasting impression. The elegant living room welcomes you with a soaring vaulted ceiling, walls of glass that invite in abundant natural light, and a striking fireplace that anchors the space with warmth and character.

The spacious dine-in kitchen is designed for both function and gathering, featuring a center island, ample cabinetry, and seamless flow into the adjoining family room. Here, a second vaulted ceiling and fireplace create a comfortable, inviting environment for daily living. Sliding glass doors from the kitchen and family room open to the central atrium, blurring the line between indoors and out and filling the home with natural light throughout the day.

Inspired by the iconic layout often associated with classic Mid-century homes, the floor plan wraps gracefully around the atrium, offering both architectural interest and practical livability. The result is a home that feels open and connected yet still provides privacy and flexibility for a variety of lifestyles.

Ideally located approximately one mile from downtown Los Altos, the home offers convenient access to top-rated schools, as well as nearby amenities such as the San Antonio Caltrain Station, Los Altos Community Center, the main library, and the San Antonio Center with its array of shopping and dining options.

With its generous scale, versatile layout, and distinctive architectural charm, this home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy classic design with modern livability in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
