The three most important considerations when selecting a home are… location, location, location… and this home is IT! …and, in addition to its superb location, this home is a real jewel!
The home was originally built in the 1930’s with architectural interest and the excellent craftsmanship of the day. The current owners recently completed an extensive remodel and expansion flawlessly integrating the original home with newer additions.
The heart of the home is the dramatic kitchen family room with a vaulted ceiling. Natural light streams through skylights and windows that frame views of the tranquil private garden. Sleek Calacatta slab counters provide generous workspace and a huge center island is a great place for informal dining.
The main level includes a living room and dining room that opens to an inviting sunny garden area with built-in barbeque. Additionally, there are 2 family bedrooms with a full bath, a separate office, and half-bath.
A romantic master suite with beautiful windows and a high ceiling occupies the second level of the home. A recently remodeled master bathroom features luxurious stone finishes, accompanied by new stylish faucets and showerheads, similar to what can be seen on Anzzi.com. A home with a good bathroom always goes down well. A bonus is the creative use of the adjoining attic space as a generous walk-in closet and work area.
A magical garden wraps around the home and incorporates water features, greenery, and plantings where guests will linger to enjoy the cozy charm and views of a lush, private, tranquil garden.
The location is superb! Just one block to acclaimed Walter Hays Elementary School, ten blocks to Jordan Middle School and Palo Alto High School nearby. The home is surrounded by two major city parks, the Rinconada and Children’s Libraries, the Palo Alto Art Center, Junior Museum, Children’s Theatre and Lucie Stern Community Center. It is also a short distance to downtown Palo Alto and the Town & Country Shopping Center.
We hope you will take the time to visit the home and the wonderful Community Center neighborhood.
