If you are looking for a very private condominium with an elegant but dramatic interior, this is the home for you.

Perched on the third-floor of The Hamlet’s contemporary-style Palo Alto condominium complex, this elegant, immaculate three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is referred to as the "most desirable unit in the complex" for good reason.

Privacy lovers take note that this condo has the quiet, end-unit position in the back of the complex. Privacy aside, this configuration is thermodynamically correct because residents get only the gentle morning sun, keeping the unit cool through hot summer days. 

Perfectly situated in the treetops overlooking beautiful mature foliage, this condo takes complete advantage of its marvelous third-story views - starting with a wraparound balcony that extends from the living room to the master bedroom, picture windows stacked up to the cathedral ceilings, and a penthouse rooftop deck with 360-degree views of the neighborhood. Best of all, no one can see inside the unit, even with the drapes wide-open. 

This sunny home’s expansive feeling is amplified by a spacious living room with soaring ceilings and an open-air, overhead loft area. A delicate wrought-iron spiral staircase winds up the wall to the loft, teasing the eye to look upwards to enjoy the unusual lines formed by the confluence of cathedral ceilings. With built-in extra-wide closets, shelving, drawers, and cabinets, the loft can easily serve as a third bedroom, den, or entertainment area. Cresting over the loft’s cathedral ceilings are two skylights that open for great air circulation. 

Gourmands will thrill to the bright, upgraded Mediterranean country-style tiled galley kitchen. Convenience is paramount with two walls of great counter space and floor-to-ceiling storage. The beautiful wood-edged cabinets include elegant European hardware with hidden hinges and drawers that roll to the touch. There can be nothing but the best for demanding gourmands and so the upgraded appliances include a slide-in electric range, built-in microwave with vent and light, new built-in dishwasher, and new disposal. A beautiful, mirrored dining room opens up the space between the kitchen and living room and makes entertaining easy as chefs are only steps away from the fun and action. 

The soaring ceilings and wall of windows continue into the master bedroom, shining light into the mirrored dressing area and attached master bath, as well. The guest bedroom has an enormous, 13-foot wall of custom closets that will win the heart of anyone who wants to get organized. 

You’ve just got to see this condo to believe it. As the owners are fond of saying, “This condo shows like a model, but lives like a home!
