In sidewalk-lined Crescent Park, a premier neighborhood of architectural jewels, this home stands out as a classic Tudor with all the grace and elegance preserved from its circa 1933 heritage. Virtually rebuilt in 2013, the home has been transformed for 21^st century living with a fusion of old and new ensuring its original character was retained while embracing the functionality and style of modern living. Crisp white walls and beautiful white oak floors throughout are complemented by colorful hues of cabinetry and tile selections. Retractable stacking glass doors in the dining room and family room add to the contemporary appeal, seamlessly opening the spaces to the private rear grounds for indoor/outdoor living. The thoughtful integration of lighting choices and the distinctive use of quatrefoil metal mesh on select cabinetry introduces a designer touch that bridges the home's early heritage with contemporary aesthetics.

The kitchen is a focal point of the design and the hub of the main level, easily accessible from every vantage point. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the high-end appliances and center island for added preparation space, while elevated counter seating invites friends and family to join in. A bedroom, or ideal office, on this level is served by a full bath, plus there is a detached studio with loft and half-bath that provides an alternate choice for a remote work place, if needed. Three additional bedrooms are located on the upper level highlighted by the primary suite with luxurious bath complete with curbless shower for two.

Outside, the private rear yard is perfect for play and entertaining, while further recreation is found just four blocks away at Eleanor Pardee Park. This home’s prime address also offers proximity to downtown University Avenue shops and restaurants just one mile away, as well as convenience to Stanford University and acclaimed Palo Alto schools.
