Remarks

A just-completed renovation has transformed this mid-century modern gem while thoughtfully preserving its architectural integrity. Positioned in the sought-after Leland Manor neighborhood, the home showcases classic Eichler-inspired design with vaulted, beamed and paneled ceilings and entire walls of glass. The home has been thoughtfully updated, from new engineered white oak floors and fresh paint to a new kitchen and baths, plus behind-the-scenes features like a new roof and boiler for the radiant-heated floors. The light-filled living and dining area opens to the private backyard, where an expansive patio and lush lawn create an inviting outdoor retreat. The sleek new kitchen showcases stylish new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, with a glass door to the side yard. The primary suite boasts a wall of glass opening to the backyard, a wall of transom-topped closets, and a luxurious new bath finished in chic, environmentally conscious Fireclay Tile, which is also featured in the second bathroom. With top-rated Palo Alto schools and a prime central location minutes to parks and shops, this home is ready for a new chapter in this sought-after location.
