Nestled on the brow of a gently sloping one-acre parcel near Gunn High School, this brown-shingle, Maybeck-inspired residence offers approximately 3,650± square feet of living space, blending timeless Bay Area architecture with exceptional privacy and natural beauty. Wisteria-draped arbors and sun-drenched patios create a serene indoor-outdoor lifestyle, while soaring ceilings, oak hardwood floors, and resawn redwood paneling reflect the warmth and craftsmanship of classic California design.

The home offers three bedrooms and four bathrooms, highlighted by a dramatic living room with massive brick fireplace and abundant natural light. A family room with fireplace, located adjacent to a full bathroom, offers added versatility and is well-suited for guest use, media lounge, or multi-generational living. A charming kitchen features a built-in banquette dining area, while a formal dining room overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens, creating inviting spaces for both casual meals and elegant entertaining. A spacious interior laundry room with pantry adds everyday convenience.

The second-floor owner’s suite features library shelving, a walk-in closet with skylight, and access to two separate decks. A private second-floor office with its own deck evokes the feeling of working in a treehouse, surrounded by peaceful, leafy views.

Professionally landscaped grounds include easy-care turf lawn and a tranquil zen rock garden. The property allows for two horses and may offer potential development opportunities, possibly including a lot split or SB9 options (buyer to verify). A current topographic survey is available by request. Parking is plentiful with a one-car attached garage plus a three-car detached garage.

Ideally located with easy access to Stanford University and top Palo Alto schools, this is a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking architectural character, privacy, generous living space, and long-term potential in one of Palo Alto’s most desirable settings.
