Newly built in 2014, this stunning residence in sought-after Old Palo Alto is unmatched in craftsmanship and design. Spanning three levels, the floor plan yet feels intimate with exceptionally light and bright spaces including folding glass doors in the family room/kitchen that open to the rear grounds for indoor/outdoor living. An impeccable array of details at every turn include natural stone and tile, gorgeous hardwood floors, beadboard wainscot, sconce lighting and fine carpet on the lower level that unify the home. There are 6 spacious bedrooms and 6.5 baths, four of the bedrooms are en suite, two share a bath, and there is an additional bath with sauna. A main-level suite is ideal for a remote work/office with private exterior access. A lower-level recreation room with full bar, cinema room including retractable screen and projector, plus a large custom wine cellar are some of the outstanding spaces of this thoughtful design. Equally impressive are the fully landscaped grounds and wraparound covered rear porch with fireplace, a separate arbor with operable louvered roof, and a vast stretch of lawn. With remarkable beauty and incredible livability in a premier location midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley this is the ultimate family and executive retreat.
