A timeless cottage character defines this classic Crescent Park home that showcases thoughtfully updated interiors and preserved period details. The enchanting front entrance begins at a metal gate opening to a brick walkway bordered by manicured foliage, white azaleas, and climbing roses. Freshly painted interiors and gleaming hardwood floors set a warm, inviting tone, while original features such as metal-framed casement windows and exterior brick cladding accented with Boston ivy celebrate its circa 1941 heritage.

The spacious living room, wrapped in windows with a glass-paned door to the rear yard, features a fluted-mantel fireplace as the focal point. A formal dining room is accessible through multiple entries, highlighted by a modern five-light globe chandelier. The large kitchen is bright and light with space for a breakfast table and features newly painted taupe cabinetry with white tile countertops and full-height backsplashes, plus all-white appliances including a gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Conveniently adjacent are the laundry room and rear yard access.

Three bedrooms and two updated baths include a front bedroom with cedar-lined walk-in closet, a second bedroom with bay window and direct access to a dual-entry bath, and a third bedroom with two closets and its own dual-entry bath finished with a mosaic accent and frameless-glass shower.

The private rear yard welcomes outdoor living with raised garden beds, Japanese maples, and expansive brick patios that wrap around to one side of the home. Finishing touches include a detached one-car garage and security alarm – all just two blocks from Eleanor Pardee Park, one mile to University Avenue shops and restaurants, and with access to acclaimed Palo Alto schools.
