Property Description

This renovated home is special. The rear garden is south-facing and a retractable wall of glass opens the great room to the garden. Skylights amplify the already present natural light. Comfortable yet sleek, the walnut floors feel solid underfoot and the colors are soothing. The kitchen is designed with custom cabinets and Italian Basaltina countertops. For the technically minded, this home has NEM 2.0 solar (that more than covers annual electrical use), two Level-2 EV chargers, all-electric high-efficiency heat pump heating and cooling, and water heater. The detached ADU is a standout, built with intention; it was even featured in a New York Times (see disclosures). With cedar siding, plaster walls, cork floors, and a full bath, its been used as a bedroom, office, movie room, and hangout space. This space is flexible and genuinely useful. The 7,000+ sq ft lot is filled with low-water California native plants that change with the seasons to continuously provide color. The winter landscape is subtle and quiet except for the birds, while spring is bursting with poppies, other wildflowers. Walk to downtown Palo Alto or Menlo Park, Haven Wine Bar, The Willows Market, Burgess Park, and bike easily to Stanford. This is a home that feels grounded, connected, and deeply loved.
