740 FLORALES DRIVE
4 bed / 3 bath / 2,273 square feet
Palo Alto has no shortage of four bedroom ranch homes, so it takes a lot for a property to stand out from the crowd. The second I walked into this house I was instantly in love with it. The first thing you see is the enormous open great room. Crowned by a terrifically high vaulted ceiling (see above), this room is perfectly proportioned to hold many different living spaces. Several clusters of living room furniture fit, as well as room for even the largest of dining room tables. This is truly a space that pictures cannot do justice, so get out and see it while you can!
That's not to say that the rest of the house wasn't stunning as well. The master bedroom was large and had fantastic detailing, from the dark wood in the master closet to the contemporary custom sink in the bath. The yard feels much larger than its size would suggest, and on a sunny day like today it would be perfect for everything from a child's birthday party to a company cook out. The kitchen was completely updated and featured a quaint eating nook.
Located on a shady street in Barron Park, what also really impressed me about the house was that its charming curb appeal and subtle exterior fit perfectly with the rural attitude of the neighborhood. The simple and classic ranch house features play perfectly off of the drama of the great room, saving this property from being boring or ostentatious. This is one of the better entries in a quickly moving field of properties between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, and I'll be watching it very closely.
