Magnificently and flawlessly remodeled, this notable Palo Alto residence is one of the City’s most enduring landmarks.

Exceptional design, outstanding craftsmanship and state-of-the-art amenities harmonize with the original architecture of this turn of the century beauty for a timeless transformation that radiates warmth and hospitality.

Grand rooms feature rich wood details, open beam ceilings, handsome stonework, and an abundance of windows embracing the serene surrounding garden. A dramatic cantilevered stairway leads to the second level and the unique tower, a distinctive characteristic of the home’s façade.

The floor plan includes 5 huge bedroom suites, one on the main floor with a separate seating area, two private offices, an open family/kitchen that will wow the home chef, an upstairs media room with snack kitchen, and a lower level rec room.

There is plenty of room for family living, work, recreation and exercise.

A magical garden with majestic trees wraps around the home and includes inviting seating areas, lush planting beds, water features, an inviting brick terrace with outdoor fireplace, and even a chicken coop!

A detached garage, repurposed as an exercise studio, and a 1-bedroom cottage complete this special property.
