Nature serves as an idyllic backdrop for this delightful, 5BD/4BA Palo Alto custom home, designed by the Frank Lloyd Wright student, Ellis Jacobs. Nestled in a quiet Crescent Park cul-de-sac, 65 Kirby Place’s low profile bends around a massive manicured backyard lawn, which is partially shaded by a canopy of towering trees. An extensive brick patio follows along the house past a flower and vine-covered overhead arbor, down to a pool. Spend weekends lounging on the raised deck as you gaze out across your private oasis. Inside, warm light filters throughout the semi-open living space.
The skylit, gourmet kitchen acts as inspiration for a culinary mind with sleek grey slab cabinetry, Viking appliances, and backyard views at every turn. Walls clad in clear heart redwood and set off with red clay bricks, bring natural materials to the forefront.
Different shadows are cast each hour with natural light through clerestory windows, skylights, and iconic glass doors that slide open for a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The living room’s intricate fenestration naturally highlights delightful California modern features such as extensive custom built cabinetry, and overhead exposed redwood beams and ceiling, red brick fireplace, and polished concrete flooring. The semi-open floorplan naturally guides you from the living room into the light filled dining room with its own red clay brick fireplace and the clear heart redwood clad walls.
Down the window-lined hall, you’ll discover 4 unique bedrooms that exude a connected to nature style: an unforgettable ensuite with a built-in soaking tub, and a sophisticated office featuring floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
A bright studio with its separate entry, a kitchenette, laundry, and a full bath is at the opposite end of the house.
While your California modern haven gives you peaceful tranquility, downtown Palo Alto is less than a mile walk away. You are mere minutes from Eleanor Pardee Park, and less than a mile from outstanding Palo Alto Schools: Addison Elementary, Duveneck Elementary School, Greene Middle, and Palo Alto High School.
