This classic single-story home is located on a sidewalk-lined street in the sought-after Green Gables neighborhood. Lushly planted fern gardens create a welcome introduction along with a slate-tiled covered porch and ebony front door that sets the tone for the sophisticated interiors. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors, a soft neutral palette, and numerous skylights combine for an inviting and light-filled ambiance. The floor plan is open and flowing, beginning with a spacious formal living room with fireplace and formal dining room with leaded glass doors that offer privacy from the kitchen. Designed as the home’s central gathering place, the kitchen and family room combination has double sliding glass doors connecting to the rear yard. The kitchen is designer perfection in a palette of white and grey with quartz countertops, designer tile backsplashes, island counter seating, and all Thermador stainless steel appliances. 

A separate wing accommodates the home’s three bedrooms and two baths, highlighted by the primary suite, which boasts timeless original details like a curved glass block wall and circular skylight in the en suite bath. The hallway bath, serving the additional two bedrooms and main living areas, is beautifully remodeled. Adding to the accommodations is a bonus office/guest room created from one bay of the attached 1-car garage. Located off the foyer, this room has an expansive workstation plus a built-in Murphy bed. Rounding out the amenities of this fine home is the lovely back yard with expansive Connecticut bluestone hardscape, a fire pit, built-in barbecue, plus fruit trees and raised and irrigated vegetable gardens. 

The Green Gables community is an exceptional location renowned for Eleanor Pardee Park plus convenience to downtown University Avenue and Stanford University. This community also has access to top-rated Palo Alto schools, including Duveneck Elementary which is just blocks away.
