Remarks

Beautifully Renovated Spanish Revival in the Heart of Old Palo Alto. No detail was overlooked in bringing modern functionality and luxury to this classic design. The comprehensive renovation, finalized in 2019, meticulously rejuvenated every inch of the interior along with an upgrade of all essential infrastructure, including plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electrical systems. The home's layout spans two levels with 4 bedrooms and 3 fully remodeled bathrooms designed for utmost comfort and convenience. A bedroom on the main level, complete with an adjacent marble bath, offers versatile options for guests or as a dedicated office. The upper level is graced by a sumptuous primary suite with a marble bath, alongside two additional bedrooms, each with ample closet space, serviced by an elegantly appointed hallway bath. The renovation's attention to detail extends to the finished partial basement, now a flexible space ready to accommodate a playroom, wine cellar, or additional storage. This home strikes the perfect balance between suburban privacy and the vibrant urban lifestyle of University Avenue, with its eclectic mix of shops and restaurants just over a mile away. With its access to top-rated Palo Alto schools this home is a gateway to the best of Silicon Valley living.
