    What's special

    This Crescent Park cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a smaller home in one of Palo Alto’s finest neighborhoods. A private entry courtyard offers just a glimpse of what is to come. Enter and you will find a modest but thoroughly charming home with recently refinished hardwood floors and wonderful indoor/outdoor flow. The spacious living room with its art deco fireplace (with hidden entertainment center) looks out onto the entry courtyard. In the separate dining room wall of windows overlooks a cozy side patio that is great for breakfast al fresco or BBQ dinners with friends. The wall of glass continues into the kitchen where over the counter windows overlook the same patio. This indoor/outdoor theme continues into the bedroom quarters, where both rear bedrooms open to the back yard with its Wisteria covered arbors (Wisteria not yet in bloom.). There is even a separately fenced potting area beside the garage for those who love to garden. The master bedroom, tucked off to the side, features built-in cabinets and plenty of closet space. There is additional storage space in the garage and in the back yard. Central forced air heat plus mature shade trees keep this home comfortable all year. Low maintenance landscaping makes for casual, care-free living. This home will be open Saturday and Sunday, 1:30 – 4:30 PM
