Home of the Day: July 22, 2011


3435 SOUTH COURT STREET, PALO ALTO
4 bed / 2.5 bath / $1,398,000
Palo Alto's third quartile of properties (with a median price of $1,348,888) is a booming market segment right now with plenty of offerings.  Statistically speaking, many of these houses are very similar in terms of bed/bath count, age and square footage, meaning that any property looking to really compete in this market has to have that little extra touch to set it apart in the buyer's mind.

The second I stepped into this house today I instantly knew this was one of the premier properties in its price range.  A floor plan that could have fallen prey to "architecture by numbers" is instead light and airy, resplendent with Craftsman detailing, clean features, and an overall sense of familial warmth.  There are gleaming hardwood floors throughout, and plenty of light shines through the myriad skylights and double pane windows.

The master suite occupies the entire second floor and is incomparably spacious for the price range.  A dramatic vaulted ceiling anchors the main bedroom, and the suite also features a large bathroom and a generously sized walk-in closet (not to mention a fantastic view of the large yard, seen above).  The first floor is framed by a large living area (seen above) that transitions gracefully into a formal dining room.  The three additional bedrooms are to the right of the living room, while the large kitchen is to the left and set back from the main living area.
