This enchanting Crescent Park home offers complete privacy and charm. Every room is crowned by a paneled cathedral ceiling with dramatic trusses, expanding dimensions and creating a remarkable sense of space. A gated courtyard with lush plantings provides outdoor living and a sunswept spot for vegetables and flowers. A covered porch opens to a welcoming foyer, leading to the living and dining room with nearly 16-foot ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and French doors to both the courtyard and rear pool terrace. A walk-behind entertainment bar awaits gatherings, while the kitchen features pine cabinetry, limestone counters, and a greenhouse window. The adjoining breakfast area, framed by a bay window and Dutch door, adds another inviting space. 2 Br are arranged for privacy, each with distinct appeal. The rear Br has poolside glass doors, a brick fireplace, and dual-entry bath access. The front primary suite opens to the garden courtyard with extensive built-ins & wardrobe space. California living continues in the rear yard with a pool beneath an arbor, surrounded by flagstone decking for lounging and entertaining. The cul-de-sac setting, across from Eleanor Pardee Park and blocks from Rinconada Park, is one mile from downtown, with easy access top-rated Palo Alto schools.
