Remodel revitalizes residence

A Palo Alto home complete with modern updates

Storybook charm and ecoconscious upgrades highlight 3265 Bryant St., a fourbedroom charmer at the end of a culdesac in midtown Palo Alto.

“It’s a spectacularly designed home with carefully selected and quality crafted details,” said Kathleen Pasin of Sereno Group Real Estate, who is listing the twostory abode for $3.898 million.

Renovated twice in the last 30 years, the custom architecture was crafted by certified green builders and even appeared as part of the Palo Alto Green Home Tour. The home offers a flowing floor plan awash in natural light, expansive public rooms and inviting outdoor spaces.

The home boasts striking curb appeal with its front garden of vibrant tulips and covered porch. Once inside, the home opens to a limestone entryway and gracious living room warmed by a gas fireplace with travertine surround. A dining room rests off the living room and segues into a kitchen with a bar counter, stainless steel appliances and views of the landscaped garden.

A pair of bedrooms, including a master suite with a walkin closet, reside on the lower level. The second downstairs bedroom is prewired for a Dolby 7.1 surround sound system and includes a wet bar & wine refrigerator and private entrance/ exit. The remaining spacious bedrooms are upstairs along, with a family room also that’s prewired for a Dolby 7.1 surround sound system.

Designed for entertaining, the landscaped rear garden hosts a wealth of gathering spaces. There’s a covered patio with an outdoor kitchen, as well as a redwood deck. Builtin benches surround a fire pit. The covered dining and lounging

area is 300 square feet and features a custom waterfall and builtin speakers.

“There is also a tranquil waterfall that is really special. The entire yard is really an oasis,” Pasin said. “The neighborhood is very quiet, family friendly, safe and convenient to everything.”

The home is crowned by 4,000 kilowatt SunPower solar electric panels that are owned and under warranty. There’s also a solarpowered hot water system and a 220volt plug in the garage that is ready for an electric vehicle charger.
