Here’s a unique three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath townhouse that benefits from the best of both city and suburban amenities. Only a block away from Palo Alto’s exciting downtown, this town home seems miles from the city because it’s located in a charming neighborhood. With a great location and dramatic architectural elements, this townhouse is the one you’ve always dreamed of owning.

Being happily situated only a block from Wolfgang Puck’s world-renowned restaurant Spago, you may never cook again. You’re also conveniently close to Stanford University and Stanford Hospital, upscale shopping on University Avenue and Stanford Mall, an array of exotic restaurants and major employers, CalTrain and a major transportation hub, Palo Alto’s great schools, and Johnson Park’s community gardens and playing fields.

You’ll have time to enjoy those amenities as this town home is easy to live in and easy to maintain. It’s surrounded by a low-maintenance garden that doubles as a lovely, private outdoor living space. A secluded hot tub underneath the yard’s beautiful, mature oak and orange trees will be the center of entertainment for friends or quiet nights at home. Potted plants brighten the patio, its stone waterfall feature and the small grove of delicious and fruiting lemon, lime, grapefruit and avocado trees. Best of all, this home is ideally positioned for complete privacy as it is set away from the road, behind a neighboring town home.

This is a great place to live. This distinctive property has dramatic architectural touches usually found only in custom homes. Walk through the front door and down the foyer and you’re in the spacious, open-plan great room. Look up and see the dramatic, cathedral ceiling. Look down and see the custom plank hardwood flooring. This flooring is inset with an elegant and subtle wood marquetry pattern that frames the dining room area, making the dining room an impressive place to feast with family, friends or business acquaintances.

Beyond the dining room is the spacious and sunny living room. Rays of colored sunlight filter through the two beautiful stained glass windows that frame the handsome brick fireplace. This is an exceptional fireplace with an Austroflame pellet stove. When temperatures drop the Austroflame heats not only this large room, but the entire house. It’s convenient too. The stove holds 40 pounds of pellets and is self-feeding, making the Austroflame an inexpensive and easy-to-use heating alternative.

This sizable living room space gets great light. It is flanked by a picture window on one side, the two incredible stained glass windows at the far end, and a double sliding glass door that leads out to the back patio. This floor plan is great for entertaining or just enjoying the natural light all day long.

Walk through the dining room and enter the charming efficiency kitchen. Cooks will love its updated electric stove top and oven with microwave above. There’s also a large, updated refrigerator and dishwasher, and well-planned counter- and storage-space. The heart of the home, this sunny kitchen gets natural light from the large garden window above the sink, as well as fluorescent light from attractive ceiling light panels. More of the custom wood-plank flooring is underfoot here, also.

Upstairs you’ll find the three substantial bedrooms. Treat yourself with the master bedroom suite’s attached full bath and double sinks. Best of all, two of the upstairs bedrooms, including the master bedroom, have romantic, secluded balconies outside double sliding glass doors. Imagine reading your paper in this private sunny spot or observing nature from your room’s own balcony.

The third bedroom is even more special. It has a stunning stained glass window, reminiscent of those downstairs, as well as access to a unique and handy “rooftop garden” lined with beautiful, exotic Cymbidium orchids. Here’s where you can escape from the house without actually leaving the house. This rooftop garden may become your favorite place to hang out.

Unlike most town homes, plentiful storage has been planned throughout. Each of the three bedrooms has a closet with double, mirrored sliding doors. There are also sizable hall closets and two, large outside cabinets for easy access. Even more storage is available in the unit’s two-car carport.

Residents are eligible to attend Palo Alto Unified School District’s excellent Addison Elementary, Jordan Middle and Palo Alto High Schools. Please verify space availability with the school district. These facts are believed accurate but not guaranteed.

It’s time to visit this home and see for yourself what an exceptional find it is. Not only will you get a wonderful home in a choice neighborhood, but you’ll be close to the excitement and enticing events in downtown Palo Alto.
