14221 Miranda Avenue, Los Altos Hills
Less than one mile from the Los Altos Village, this just completed home exudes a European modern style with matching Accessory Dwelling Unit on a fully level lot of more than 1.1 acres. The entire property epitomizes luxury and sophistication, featuring exceptional details and unparalleled craftsmanship rarely found at this level in new construction. The home’s sleek towering lines and standing seam metal roof make a commanding first impression beyond a crushed stone motor court that gives a nod to its European ambiance. The main residence spans two levels with San Francisco Bay views from the upper level and a central great room that serves as the heart of the home. The interiors are designed with impeccable taste and a commitment to high-end finishes and attention to detail that set a new standard. Hand-painted electrical outlets, curbless thresholds throughout, and a floating lighted staircase that stands as an architectural work of art exemplify this commitment.
Indoor/outdoor living is a signature of the design with a vast willow-covered steel arbor defining dining and lounging beside the pool and spa. A sweeping lawn offers wonderful space for recreation and entertaining and just beyond, the fully equipped ADU unfolds with matching quality and privacy perfect for guests or extended family. Behind the scenes, sustainability is at the forefront with solar power, EV charging, and three Tesla Powerwalls.
This exceptional property, optionally available turnkey with some furnishings, provides a seamless transition into luxury living at a premier location with access to excellent Los Altos schools. Crafted by a renowned architect, interior designer, and builder, this property stands as a testament to refined living in Los Altos Hills.
