Introduction
Architecturally stunning Hamptons-style new construction on a highly desired block in Old Palo Alto!
The home was designed and custom built for the owners, now available for sale. The magnificent design by The Shift Group and Luke van Duyn is apparent from the signature five gables gracing the 95-foot wide frontage. An expansive and luxurious kitchen features 65 square feet of waterfall edged Calacatta Royalle marble on a titanic island, adjoining the light-filled great room with its 16-foot high soaring ceiling. Over 640 square feet of covered, heated back porch await you outside twelve feet of fully pocketing glass doors. Four beds and three baths up complement the myriad entertaining features of the lower level: comprehensive bar area, wine room with backlit wall of onyx, large rec room adjoining sunlit sunken patio, sound-dampened screening room, two bedrooms, and more.
