Bountiful amenities, outdoor space define Palo Alto home

Exceptional design and craftsmanship are the hallmarks of 1585 Edgewood Dr. in Palo Alto, a fivebedroom, custom-built home bursting with amenities.

Remote-controlled exterior shades, integrated speakers and thoughtful built-ins represent some of the creature comforts that are part of this stylish residence.

Architectural details including graceful archways, open-beam truss ceilings, moldings and hardwood floors are found throughout.

Elegant leaded-glass panels flank the oversized front door that opens to a welcoming foyer leading to the formal dining and living rooms with illuminated display cabinets.

A gourmet kitchen bridges the spacious formal and informal areas, while a double-sided stone fireplace anchors the expansive family and recreation rooms.

The huge well-equipped kitchen comes with high-end Thermador, Whirlpool and Miele appliances. A sleek granite slab tops the generous counters and the center island. Special features include an appliance garage, a concealed recycling center and two dishwashers.

For those who enjoy entertaining, a walk-in pantry with generous built-in storage and a full-size refrigerator/freezer lend further convenience.

The great room adjacent to the kitchen hosts an informal dining area set beneath a skylight and surrounded by bay windows flanked by built-in display cabinets, and a comfortable seating area arranged around the wood-burning fireplace with a Sonoma fieldstone surround. Remote-controlled exterior shades control heat and light coming into the great room.

A huge flexible-use room with built-in bar accommodates a variety of home entertainment needs from movies to billiards. A full bath accommodates guests.

Two large bedrooms, a full and half bath, a laundry room and an office area with built in work and storage cabinets complete the lower level.

The primary bedroom suite is on the upper level and includes built-in nightstands, a dresser and storage cabinets, as well as wood flooring and a pair of alcoves — one of which offers a window seat. The primary bath has both a large soaking tub, a separate shower, double sinks and two-walk-in closets with organizers.

There are two family bedrooms (one with private bath), a Jack & Jill bath, a beautifully equipped home office, and a second laundry room on the

second floor.

A private resort-like outdoor setting surrounds the home – a barbecue/dining area overlooks the manicured garden with koi pond and the pool surrounded by sprawling patios.

A detached 3-car garage and an enclosed motor court with electric gate provide plenty of parking. There are guest quarters with a full bath above the garage.

With abundant amenities and an open floor plan, this home is a beautiful yet comfortable environment.

From family living to gracious entertaining, this property is perfectly suited to fulfill its next family’s dreams. Learn more at www.1585edgewood.com.
