Remarks

Exceptional craftsman architecture nestled within the coveted Crescent Park neighborhood. The exterior boasts a newly painted, all-shingled facade with crisp white trim, framed by the beauty of white roses and a lush lawn. The interior showcases architectural nuances like dropped crown moldings and of-the-era built-ins. The Craftsman ethos continues with signature tapered columns that delineate the formal living and dining areas, where a fireplace serves as a focal point. The kitchen is open to the family room, and French doors offer convenient access to the extra-deep and very private rear yard. 3 bedrooms & 2.5 baths, including the main-level primary suite featuring a luxurious marble & tile bath as well as two upstairs bedrooms served by a newly remodeled bath. Oversized detached 1-car garage of ~325 square feet with conceptual plans for an ADU conversion (buyer to verify with city of Palo Alto). Positioned near acclaimed schools and just one mile from downtown University Avenue.
