1184 PALO ALTO AVENUE, PALO ALTO
4 bed / 3.5 bath / 4,240 square feet
This elegant home in prestigious Crescent Park just exudes a sense of Old World elegance that only time can bestow. Built by Charles Sumner in 1934, the home's scale and detailing make it an exceptional property, even in a neighborhood that is practically defined by exceptional properties.
The grounds are truly one of a kind. Anybody who follows Palo Alto real estate will be automatically impressed by the lot size. Sitting on a little over 40% of an acre (18,050 square feet), the large lot allows for a natural development of patios, gardens and expanses of lawn, all of which perfectly complement the house's architecture and interiors. The yard acts as an extension of the estate and adds tremendously to its charm.
Once inside, as I mentioned before, the scale truly sets this property apart from the others. The word great room is thrown around a lot in real estate, but just look at the picture above. The beamed ceiling and the mahogany floors perfectly frame the sheer size of the room. The vaulted ceilings in the family room and the master bedroom (both seen above) also add a touch of drama and elegance. Even the master closet (not pictured) is incomparable in terms of size. Easily taking up the size of a full bedroom, it is both spacious and elegant, without falling prey to pomposity.
