    This extraordinary Old Palo Alto home is a classic tribute to modernism embracing simplicity, livability, and connection between interior and exterior spaces. The home's flowing open floor plan features elegant, generous-sized rooms with uncommonly high ceilings and large carefully positioned windows that frame views of the surrounding private garden and allow natural light to fill the home. Connecting the two wings of the home is a glass walled family room ideal for gathering the family or entertaining. The lower level offers two spacious bedroom suites & an office/bedroom. Four bedrooms & two baths are on the upper level. The garden mirrors the home with its simple design featuring a lush lawn rimmed by shrubs & trees with dense foliage providing privacy. The location is near outstanding Palo Alto public schools. You will love this home with its emphasis on comfortable living & its convenient location, it is the perfect antidote to the hurried Silicon Valley lifestyle.
