Elegant and timeless, this custom-built 2004 residence in Palo Alto's prestigious Crescent Park neighborhood combines enduring craftsmanship with modern comfort. The home's refined white facade and landscaped front entry welcome you along a picturesque tree-lined street. Inside, a grand foyer with soaring ceilings introduces a spacious and light-filled interior. Distinctive ceiling lines, arched hallways, and custom millwork add architectural characters throughout, while rich hardwood floors, stone finishes, and designer lighting provide a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. The living room flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, making it ideal for both intimate gatherings and elegant entertaining. A chef's kitchen with a built-in refrigerator opens to a casual dining area and family room, where large windows overlook the serene backyard. The main level also features a guest bedroom and a full bathroom, offering flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceiling, symmetric windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a double vanity, walk-in shower, tub, and stone countertops.
