The character synonymous with Old Palo Alto defines this exceptional estate, set on nearly a quarter-acre in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods. Refined and inviting, the interiors span more than 5,300 square feet, where high-end materials, timeless design, and impeccable craftsmanship come together with effortless cohesion. Expansive formal rooms flow seamlessly into a chef's kitchen anchored by a Bertazzoni range, while the home's six en suite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath. The lower level offers flexible space suited to a variety of needs, and outdoors, sun-filled grounds create a private setting for both relaxation and play. The location is exceptional, with California Avenue's shops and restaurants just a few blocks away, Stanford University minutes from home, and access to top-ranked schools nearby (buyer to verify eligibility).
