Best Features of Your Home
Its craftsman charm with high ceilings, clear redwood framing, quarter-sawn floorboards, grand porch and balcony. So convenient to get anywhere in the Bay Area.
Favorite Room in the House
I’d have to say the dining room; simple, open, bright, and we’ve used it for dinner every night as well as for parties.
Any Remodeling Since You Purchased the Home?
We’ve done a lot of work on the house – rebuilt the garage and balcony, remodeled the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, and redesigned the fireplace mantle, but we’ve always been careful to preserve the character of the 99-year-old house.
What’s in the Neighborhood
Around the corner there’s a small supermarket, coffee shop, dry cleaners, day spa. Plus there’s a nearby deli and city park with playground, dog run and tennis courts. The neighbors are all very friendly and supportive with many young families.
Most romantic spot in the home or neighborhood
The porch swing for two at sunset, with a glass of wine!
What Will You Miss Most?
We’ll miss being here for the house’s 100th birthday, she’s a Grand Old Lady to us. We’ll miss the neighborhood pancake breakfasts, yearly BBQ, and potluck dinners. We’ll miss being so close to downtown Palo Alto. We’ll miss how the big trees keep the house cool on hot days. We’ll miss sitting on the porch and waving to the neighbors as they walk their dogs and push their strollers.
