An architectural jewel in the heart of Green Gables, this circa 1931 Tudor Revival showcases timeless elegance on a desirable corner lot. Steeply pitched composite slate tile rooflines and classic window shutters reflect the enduring appeal of the period, while thoughtful updates inside enhance livability. The flexible layout includes 4 bedrooms + loft + library and 3 baths, with a dramatic main-level primary suite featuring a two-story cathedral ceiling, French door to the rear yard. There is an additional full bath on the main level off the hallway, plus three upstairs bedrooms are served by a spacious third bath. Beautiful hardwood floors, some in parquet or herringbone patterns, complement original plasterwork, vintage tile, and refined moldings. Formal living and dining rooms offer inviting spaces for entertaining, and a charming library lined on three walls with bookshelves is illuminated by skylights. 160 square foot partial basement; walk-in 275 square-foot attic space off the front bedroom; detached 360 square-foot 2-car garage with potential ADU option (see conceptual plans). Spacious and private rear yard for play and entertaining in a gated setting. Excellent Green Gables location one block to Christmas Tree Lane on Fulton Street. Excellent Palo Alto schools.
