Custom built in 2001, this home was designed for everyday family living, not to be overly formal, and with a clear connection to indoor/outdoor living. Inspired by the Spanish Revival architecture of Santa Barbara, and particularly the renowned Biltmore Hotel, the home is an architectural jewel with every detail authentically captured and custom made. Organic elements like reclaimed ceiling beams, terra cotta tile floors, and wrought iron light fixtures infuse the home with warmth and character. Custom touches abound with made-to-order decorative tiles on backsplashes and lining the staircases with alternating patterns from one riser to the next. Ceiling details extend throughout with barrel and groin vaults and extensive use of the reclaimed beams. There is a continuing quatrefoil theme throughout, a key element in the origins of Spanish style, that begins with a signature window above the front door. Custom laser-cut screens with this pattern adorn many clerestory windows that encircle rooms with filtered light.

The U-shape design of the home, which spans more than 5,433 square feet, surrounds an interior courtyard with a covered loggia on three sides, a vast sun swept center lawn, and the sparkling pool and spa at one end. A series of retractable glass doors open to the loggia, which blurs the lines for indoor/outdoor living and supports a private balcony overhead for each of the bedroom suites. Fireplace terraces off the dining room and primary suite, plus a covered lounge next to a recreation room add to the fresh-air living options. There is also a detached poolside cabana with pizza oven and barbecue kitchen to assist with outdoor entertaining. 

Accommodations include 5 spacious bedroom suites with a multi-room main-level suite for guests or staff, an upstairs primary suite, plus three suites in their own wing with rear staircase to the recreation room. A privately accessed upstairs office, just off the foyer, shares the fireplace terrace with the primary suite. 

This home’s prime address in Crescent Park is just across the street from Eleanor Pardee Park and 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.
