Embodying the Old World charm of a Spanish Revival bungalow, this storybook Professorville home has been meticulously brought to todays standards, creating one of the finest starter home opportunities to be found in Palo Alto. Professionally designed garden retreats with a duo of fountains surround the residence for an indoor-outdoor experience unlike any other. A vine-covered entry and paver courtyard open to interiors where original features mingle seamlessly with modern upgrades. Inviting gathering spaces and a skylit kitchen remodel boast amenities like stainless appliances, high ceilings, a stately fireplace, modern lighting, and beautiful hardwood floors. The redesigned primary suite forms a calm, charming refuge, while the detached office/studio is ideal for working from home. Central to everything, this coveted location is within a stroll of Rinconada Park, Gamble Garden, and many cultural attractions. Moments from downtown, Town & Country Village, and other top-performing Palo Alto schools.
