Completely transformed with a whole-home renovation in 2009, including all infrastructure, 15 kW solar power, seismic retrofit, new plumbing, geothermal heating and cooling and new electrical ...every detail showcases extraordinary craftsmanship. This rare treasure in Crescent Park combines the architecture of a Mediterranean villa with the relaxed sophistication of modern luxury living complete with 5,000-bottle wine cellar, exceptional kitchen, and enchanting outdoor spaces. Hand-carved walnut floors, baseboards, and doors, imported French fireplace mantels, and striking zinc kitchen counters highlight the interiors. Spanning three levels, the home has five luxurious bedroom suites (four suites upstairs and one on the main floor), an office, gym, and theater room. Outdoor spaces invite year-round enjoyment with a solar-heated pool, loggia with fireplace, heated dining lounge with barbecue kitchen, vast synthetic lawn, and half basketball court. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on a ~19,500 SF lot this home is less than a mile from downtown Palo Alto. This premier setting also provides access to acclaimed Palo Alto schools. It is ideally situated close to Stanford University, Sand Hill Road, (the venture capital center), and two international airports.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
