Nestled in Crescent Park, this nearly 3,800-square-foot home blends early 1900s Palo Alto heritage with a modernized floorplan designed for today's lifestyle. A gated entrance and lush garden introduce interiors filled with hardwood floors, crown molding, and natural light, where expansive formal rooms connect seamlessly to a chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, a walk-out family room, and an office ideal for stylish work-from-home living. Multiple fireplaces add warmth throughout, while four bedrooms include a serene primary suite with a spa-inspired bath featuring a jetted tub and sauna. The backyard is crafted for year-round entertaining with a deck, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and sparkling pool, complemented by a finished basement, detached garage, and extended driveway. Just minutes from downtown, Stanford, top schools, and commute routes, this home offers a rare combination of heritage, space, and luxury in one of Palo Alto's most sought-after neighborhoods.
