102 UNIVERSITY #3A, PALO ALTO
2 bed / 3 bath / 4,280 square feet
Is there anybody who lives in Palo Alto who can't instantly identify the building above? This striking architectural masterpiece is located on University Avenue adjacent to the "Circle" connecting Alma and University. Built as a mixed use building, two of the three condominiums are now on the market and they are as stunning as the building itself.
Let's start with the largest unit which I just previewed this morning. I thought the minimalism of the exposed structural elements contrasted nicely with the drama employed by the 10+ foot ceilings and sheer walls of windows. Everywhere you turn there is something new to catch your eye...a slanted reading lounge accessed by the main public rooms that overlooks Alma, a built-in desk in the second floor landing and the elegant minimalist closets are some of the features I enjoyed the most.
The truly spectacular aspect of the property, however, is the beautiful rooftop garden. Located at the top of the unit, in the daytime you get an unparalleled 360 degree view of downtown Palo Alto. At night the view becomes truly special as the city lights up, as can be seen above.
All in all this is the single most fantastic piece of contemporary architecture I have seen hit the market in the past year. This is truly an exceptional property without equal.
Listed by Sotheby's International Realty for $5,388,000
