Custom construction completed in 2018, this award-winning 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom gem is sleek and sophisticated behind the quiet luxury of a traditional facade. Light-filled interiors showcase a sophisticated contemporary aesthetic with expansive open spaces and custom finishes throughout. White oak floors extend across all three levels, which are connected by a dramatic glass-wrapped floating staircase that serves as a striking centerpiece. The main level offers seamless flow between formal and casual living areas, a modern all-white kitchen with quartzite finishes, and a dedicated office (can be converted to a bedroom) with adjacent bath. Upstairs, three luxurious bedroom suites include a serene primary retreat with a private balcony and spa-inspired bath. The lower level is designed for entertainment and wellness with areas for recreation, media, and fitness, a future wine cellar, and two bedrooms and two baths. Gated off-street parking, a spacious outdoor cabana with heaters, and eco-friendly synthetic lawns in the front and rear complete this exceptional home in Old Palo Alto, less than a mile from University Avenue shops and restaurants.
