Representing the epitome of a modern family home yet honoring its original vintage details, this rare offering is distinguished by its coveted Old Palo Alto location, stylish interior design, generous dimensions and park-like grounds.

A freshly painted Victorian façade offers a stately introduction to the residence.  The welcoming front porch transitions to an equally inviting foyer, offering a first glimpse of the clean lines, earthy elements and contemporary finishes that create an appealing contrast to the home’s period character.

From vibrant entertaining to active family living, the floor plan is exceptionally fluid and functional.  A sophisticated dining room with chic lighting and a connoisseur’s wine closet lies to the immediate left of the entry.  Just ahead, discover the formal living room, an elegant gathering venue framed by broad windows that flood the space with light.

Festivities flow easily into to the spectacular gourmet kitchen and family room ahead.  An incredibly appointed chef’s domain, the kitchen features top quality stainless appliances and granite counters, as well as plentiful custom cabinetry and broad dining space thoughtfully designed for everyday gatherings.  The compelling family room offers built-in cabinetry, a fireplace and French door rear yard access providing the perfect venue for casual entertaining.  Natural views of the Zen patio, dining area, sprawling lawn and thriving gardens suggest unlimited possibilities for outdoor festivities.

The restful bedroom quarters, including a luxurious master suite and three light and airy bedrooms lie upstairs, offering a private haven away from the main living areas.

Palo Alto schools, in addition to convenient proximity to Stanford University, downtown Palo Alto, Cal Train and commuter routes complete the value of this exceptional offering.
