Sited on one of the City’s most charming tree-lined streets this 6 bedroom/3.5 bath home is just 6 blocks to Downtown Palo Alto with a diverse array restaurants and local boutiques.

Originally built at the turn of the century, the home has been authentically restored to include modern infrastructure while retaining its charm and character.  Vintage details include period moldings, wood floors, leaded glass windows and built-in shelving and display cabinets.

The remodeled family kitchen features honed stone counters, top of the line stainless appliances and a huge marble island, perfect for informal dining.  A huge butler’s pantry adds extra space and accommodates the entertainment-size refrigerator/freezer.  The adjoining room with corner window is ideal for relaxation overlooking the peaceful garden. The living and dining rooms suggest special holidays and provide elegant spaces for entertaining. 

Family living takes place on the upper levels.  A “club-like” family room with a quaint hammered copper hood fireplace is a comfortable place to unwind or work from the adjoining office area with built-ins. 

A dramatic bank of windows allows natural light to stream into the second level owner’s suite featuring custom closet built-ins and a remodeled bath.

There are 3 family bedrooms on the second level and 2 sizable bedrooms on the third level, each with charming alcoves with beadboard paneling.

A private garden with mature colorful vegetation and a lush lawn wrap around the home and rim the sprawling brick patios. An oversize single car garage with adjoining greenhouse for the home gardener is accessed off of an alley.

The enviable location is within Palo Alto’s treasured historic Professorville where some of the city’s most distinctive homes are located.
