This grand residence is a testament to the enduring appeal of the classic Monterey Colonial style of architecture. In 1929, the property brought together two nationally recognized California artisans who were known for seamlessly blending European style influences with the relaxed indoor/outdoor culture of the West Coast – architect Gardner Dailey and landscape architect Thomas Church. Dailey, perhaps best known for his work at UC Berkeley and the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, created the streamlined design with its signature upper-level balcony spanning the front of the home, generous dimensions, and effortless elegance. Church, renowned for designing over 2000 residential gardens, created his signature that combines simplicity with scale. The result is an unparalleled estate property where the character of its early heritage has been preserved while boasting significant updates for a 21st century lifestyle.

The interior design is classic and stylish – with espresso-hued hardwood floors, streamlined white millwork, and authentic period lighting. Throughout the recent remodel, great care was taken in selecting materials appropriate to the circa 1929 design with touches of luxury at every turn – beautifully appointed bathrooms, a tremendousgourmet kitchen and family room ensemble, and a sommelier-worthy wine cellar. Nowhere in the home is the history more obvious than in the dining room, which still showcases the original wallpaper printed in 1834 and also used in the White House. The epitome of traditional design, the main level is devoted to spacious public and informal gathering spaces along with one of the home’s six bedrooms. Five additional bedrooms, three with en-suite bath, are upstairs including a lavish master suite with spa-inspired bathroom. A 1-bedroom apartment above the detached garage completes the generous accommodations that span more than 7,700 square feet.

Respect for the original landscape design has been honored over the years with venerable vines of wisteria entwining the front and rear porches, fields of lavender filling the air with fragrance, and today, some 150 rose bushes grace the grounds in a tapestry of perfumed color. A spacious barbecue terrace, pergola-framed sitting area, vast stretches of lawn, and a bocce ball court beckon endless hours of outdoor enjoyment. All of this plus a location that puts the best of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area within easy reach, with access to top-rated Palo Alto schools. 

Property features: 6 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms and 2 Partial Baths.
