With roots dating back to 1924, this manor home in Old Palo Alto has been transformed into a sumptuous residence surrounded by English gardens. The renovation, completed in 1995, integrates custom lighting for display of fine art, beautiful hardwood floors in every room, and custom wall colors that add designer panache. At the heart of the design is a tremendous kitchen with masterfully cut slabs of granite that serve as works of art and an open arrangement of space that allows for mingling with friends and family. A fully customized office and equally well-appointed library enhance the living spaces while 5 bedrooms provide comfortable respites for family members and guests alike. Highlighting the personal accommodations is the mezzanine-level master suite, which adjoins a bedroom currently used for fitness and well-being, complete with cedar-lined sauna.Outside, the natural beauty of the gardens adds to the appeal with a carefree array of color and fragrance. A profusion of purple irises envelops the rear grounds complemented by climbing roses and a vast pergola draped in wisteria. The result is a magical setting for quiet relaxation or festive entertaining. Adding the finishing touch to this premier property is its sought-after location in a neighborhood of legacy homes with access to top-rated schools.
