[Please note: this house is not for sale. Please do not call about it.] This house is notable for its timeless beauty, its comfort and style, and its convenient location. It was built with attention to high quality detail, including thick interior walls, and high ceilings. The materials and color choices are classic. Two of the bathrooms have stone floors and showers; one has beautiful tiles, and the powder room has a wood floor. Except for the bathrooms, there is wood flooring throughout. The kitchen has granite counters and high-end appliances: a Viking oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. The washing machine and dryer are Maytag. There are separate furnaces and water heaters for up and down stairs, so there is always hot water. A striking feature of the house is the beautiful windows, many of them bay windows, letting in lots of light. Double glass windows throughout the house help keep the house warm in winter and cool in the summer. Also, the solar panels have a cooling effect as they make use of the sun's rays before they hit the roof and heat things up. The solar panels provide full electricity needs during part of the year, sometimes including credit with the city utilities. Outstanding location: this house is located in College Terrace, a quite small and highly desirable neighborhood in Palo Alto. It is a block and a half from Stanford campus; two blocks from the local library; within walking distance of the local elementary school (part of the highly rated Palo Alto school district). Also within walking distance is Palo Alto's second "downtown" area, California Avenue, with fabulous restaurants and shops, and a lively Sunday farmers' market. The neighborhood is just two blocks wide, yet has four parks, one with tennis courts, and another with a children's playground. The house is quiet, yet transportation is convenient: California Avenue has a train station, and there is easy access to 280. The close-by Page Mill Road / Oregon Expressway feeds into 101 and to Alma / Central Expressway.
