A whole-home designer renovation, along with the addition of a unique ADU currently designed for poolside entertaining, has transformed this property into a luxury showcase for indoor/outdoor living. While preserving its original Victorian aesthetic, the home has been reimagined with designer appointments and modern sophistication. A formal dining room and richly paneled library/office give way to a sunroom, family room, and gourmet kitchen combination that opens to the rear grounds. Upstairs, 5 spacious bedrooms include the primary suite and two that have en suite baths and loft playrooms. A wraparound arbor-covered deck off the primary suite features spiral stairs leading to the pool, spa, and expansive terrace with a fireplace. Known as The Barn, the ADU offers a charming rustic retreat with restaurant-style seating, perfect for entertaining. Located in sought-after Green Gables, this home enjoys proximity to Stanford University and acclaimed Palo Alto schools

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
