Spectacularly finished, newer construction home in the heart of Old Palo Alto. Set on an oversized, deep lot, with plenty of space for indoor/outdoor entertaining, pool parties, or lounging with a book under the established landscaping. Inside, the bedroom configuration offers an abundance of options for family, friends, or unique working situations. On the main floor is a formal living room accented by a lighted archway, a full suite with dedicated laundry and separate entry, a luxurious office (or formal dining room), and an open concept kitchen/dining/family room overlooking the yard and pool. Upstairs, the primary suite with two walk-in closets is adjacent to two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom with a second laundry area. Downstairs are three more bedrooms, two bathrooms, an oversized media room, and third laundry. This adaptable space could be used as an attached ADU with a separate entrance, or a flex space for kids/office/gym/anything imaginable. Mere blocks to California Ave restaurants, the University Ave downtown, Stanford, and all of the top rated schools Palo Alto has to offer.
