About this home
A landmark of Old Palo Alto, 1301 Bryant is a 1910 Craftsman-Chalet estate set behind extraordinary gardens on a rare 16,020 sq. ft. parcel.

The approximately 4,465 sq. ft. of flexible space includes an approximately 2,404 sq. ft. main residence, a 1,120 sq. ft. lower-level retreat with a game and gathering area, built-in bar, mirrored fitness space, sauna, and heated Michael Phelps Swim Spa, plus an approximately 941 sq. ft. guest house above the detached 3-car garage. With its own kitchen, full bath, and elevator access, the guest house offers flexibility for extended guests, a private office, creative pursuits, or a personal sanctuary. Featured on the 2025 Gamble Garden Spring Tour, the park-like grounds unfold through meandering paths, mature landscaping, a vegetable garden, and intimate places to enjoy the beauty of home. With notable Silicon Valley provenance, privacy, and remarkable space in the heart of Old Palo Alto, 1301 Bryant is a one-of-a-kind estate to enjoy today and treasure for generations.

Old Palo Alto, located between University Avenue and Embarcadero Road, is a historic and residential Palo Alto neighborhood with tree-lined streets and landmark architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around University Avenue at Emerson Street, where sidewalk patios, independent boutiques, and gallery-style storefronts set a polished, walkable rhythm. Architectural cues run from early 20th-century Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes to carefully updated estates behind mature oaks. Gamble Garden adds a quiet, horticultural counterpoint to the street grid. Community touchstones include Stanford Theatre, Palo Alto Art Center, and Kepler’s Books. Caltrain at Palo Alto Station links the area to the Peninsula corridor.
