An exceptional residence and
statement of contemporary living

Exterior

First Floor

Second Floor

This unique Community Center property is composed of two exceptional residences, each a statement of contemporary living. Designed by Mary Maydan of Maydan Architects, noted as the architecture firm selected to design the Houzz headquarters in downtown Palo Alto, the property offers rare accommodations perfectly suited for extended family needs, a Silicon Valley startup, or a myriad of other lifestyle choices.

Each residence presents a sophisticated contemporary design with entire walls of glass, sleek gray limestone or white oak floors, and European cabinetry and fixtures throughout. A floating open-tread staircase is a work of art in the main residence, gracefully curving to the upper level in front of a translucent glass backdrop. A tremendous family room doubles as a home theatre, the kitchen is a chef's dream, and a spacious deck and terrace are designed for indoor/outdoor living. 

The home's personal accommodations comprise a main-level suite, an upstairs maser suite with its own terrace, plus 3 additional bedrooms as well as a built-in office/study center and library in the open hallway. The second residence is equally spacious and mirrors the quality and finishes of the main residence, including the kitchen and bathrooms. The one-level floor plan, with 4 bedrooms plus an office, offers abundant flexibility for use dependent on lifestyle needs.

Adding the finishing touch is this property's location with less than one mile to downtown shopping and dining on University Avenue, proximity to Stanford University and commuter routes to all of Silicon Valley, as well as access to top-rated Palo Alto schools.
