Charming home, walk to Community Center, p... Rental

This serene and refined home is snuggled on a quiet cul-de-sac in a prime Palo Alto neighborhood, just a short walk to the Rinconada Library, Rinconada Park, the Palo Alto Art Center, and Duveneck Elementary School, and minutes away from Stanford and downtown Palo Alto. This elegant mid-century home features modern amenities, abundant natural light through large windows and skylights, natural hardwood floors throughout, and a tranquil courtyard and backyard featuring a Japanese-style garden. From the minute you enter the gated front courtyard and come to the front door, you are drawn in by the beautiful landscape and peaceful Zen-like ambience. Through the front door, you step into a spacious formal living room with a two-way fireplace that opens to both the living room and an additional room with wood-beamed ceilings that could be a perfect home office or family room. The dining area is to the right of the living room. Off the dining area is the spacious and airy kitchen with Corian countertops and high-end appliances, including two Gaggenau ovens, a Gaggenau range with both gas and induction burners, a large Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher. At the far end of the kitchen is a cozy family room, with built in seating. The three bedrooms and laundry room are on the right side of the house, with the primary bedroom and ensuite bath at the back of the hallway, and the other two bedrooms, laundry room and hall bath toward the front of the house. Both bathrooms have been beautifully updated. The garage is partially finished, with built-in air conditioning and ample storage, making it a perfect home workout area.
