An expansive, gracious layout begins with the living room crowned with vaulted ceilings and opens to the formal dining room, which is flanked by a private courtyard and expansive leisure deck—perfect for entertaining or relaxing.
The fully updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances by Sub-Zero and Wolf and ample space for the home chef. Open breakfast and casual areas include a wet bar and access to the deck, which is surrounded by greenery for privacy. The upper level offers a sky-lit bedroom and office, a secondary suite with vast patio and a spacious primary suite with an updated marble spa bath.

In a nod to its agricultural roots, Los Altos maintains a green and quiet atmosphere. Downtown eateries such as Aurum, LuLu’s Mexican Food, State of Mind Public House and Pizzeria, and Manresa Bread—a bakery of national renown—focus on the region’s excellent produce and artisanal approach to both casual and fine dining.

Recipes | Summer Season Bounty | Tomatoes |
|
Whether you grow them yourself in your garden (or on your balcony or rooftop), have generous neighbors or go to the greenmarket, tomatoes are likely to fill your larder this season. During the winter, we dream of having too many tomatoes—but during the summer, it can be a serious problem. Luckily, there are many ways to use the season's red beauties even after they have lost their firmness and are too soft to slice into a salad.

Take to the Water | Kayaking in NY and DC |
|
New York City. It might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about summer in the city, but when you need to beat the heat, why not give free kayaking in NYC a try? There is plenty of water, from the Hudson River to the East River, and these waterways offer some of the best views of many of New York’s attractions.
DC Metro. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city! Enjoy the sights of the Potomac River as you paddleboard or boat past the Georgetown Waterfront, Roosevelt Island, some of Washington, DC’s most stunning monuments and under the beautiful Key Bridge. Or, you can kayak and board your way up river to the C&O Canal for a relaxing day of tranquility.
