Bask in the warmth of this gracious 5BR 5BA home in South Palo Alto. Situated on an oversized corner lot in a serene neighborhood, the Mediterranean-style exterior with tiled roof and columned entrance exactly matches the beauty and luxury of its interior. Though clean and new (just built in 2002), this home possesses the old-world elegance of quality finishing and intricate architectural details throughout.

Step into the grand foyer where a vaulted ceiling, sleek chandeliers and a curving staircase provide dramatic impact. Immaculate hardwood floors, recessed lighting and arched doorways throughout the main floor heighten the feeling of spaciousness and exquisite attention to detail. The high-ceilinged living room features a romantic fireplace with granite surround and wooden mantle. Large windows and high, arched doorways complete the drama of this room.

A separate dining room with vaulted ceiling leads through a sleekly modern glass-paned door into a cook's dream kitchen complete with granite countertops, a large granite-topped island with built-in storage and a professional quality Thermador oven/range. A light-filled bay window over the stainless-steel double sink provides views into the front garden. Brushed steel appliances echo the gleaming knobs of the stylish cabinets. A built-in wine bar complete with its own sink and controlled-temperature wine storage divides the kitchen from a roomy breakfast nook. A separate, airy family room with fireplace flows through sliding doors onto the tiled patio. Two full baths and a spacious bedroom with extra closet storage complete the first floor.

Leading to the second floor is a beautifully curving staircase with molded balustrade and stylish wall sconces. A skylight at the landing illuminates pristine carpet and graceful wall moldings throughout the upper floor. A separate Master suite offers total privacy as well as plenty of air and light from two balconies, both with sliding doors, and a magnificent canopy ceiling. Plenty of storage space is available in the two master bedroom closets, one a walk-in with wraparound racks. A sitting area and an enormous master bath with step-down Jacuzzi tub, full shower and two sinks with spacious vanity are the remaining features of this glorious suite.

Down the hall are two more bedrooms sharing a tiled bath with dual sinks and lots of counter space. An additional bedroom with full bath, a bonus room for office or playroom, and a dedicated laundry area are located on the lower floor, which is freshly painted and carpeted.

The stylish sunny theme of the home continues with its large Mediterranean-style backyard, where flagstone tiles form a spacious seating area that flows around a sparkling blue, free-form pool with spa. A tinkling tiered fountain, flowering vines and a rose garden offer charm and grace to this very private outdoor space. A well-lit two-car garage completes the picture of ease and luxury.

Convenient south Palo Alto location offers easy access to shops and restaurants at San Antonio Shopping Center. Nearby transportation includes the San Antonio Caltrain station and commute access to Central Expressway, El Camino, and the 101 and 280 freeways
