Description:

Classic center hall colonial designed by noted architect Charles Sumner, built in 1936 and completely renovated (back to the studs) and expanded within the last 10 years. The house has the beauty, charm and details of a 1930s home with the amenities, infrastructure, lighting and appliances of a new home. House: 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths. Gracious study, formal living room and separate dining room large enough to entertain 16 people. Modern kitchen open to large eat-in kitchen area and family room with great light and fabulous views to the rear yard. The kitchen has high end appliances (Wolf gas range and Wolf oven, 48" Sub-Zero refrigerator and two Sub-Zero undercounter refrigerators , etc.) Separate guest room with full bath. Master bedroom with walk-in closet, large tub, shower and his/hers sinks. Three upstairs bedrooms for children, one with Jack and Jill bath and the other en suite. Basement was added with the renovation and includes a media room/gym, open play space, full bath and 1,000+ bottle wine cellar with professional grade cooling unit. New washer/dryer on the second floor. We wanted the house to retain its architectural integrity during the renovation and expansion. Using the original blueprints, we retained the architect's original intent. Lot: Large 11,250 s.f. lot landscaped by noted San Francisco landscape architect with beautiful specimen trees (Ginkgo, Japanese Maple, Weeping Cherry, Dogwood, Magnolia, etc.), white picket fence with rose covered trellis, espaliered Apple trees, Meyer lemon tree and much more. Pool: New large pool with automatic pool cover. New spa with cover. Pool house with full bath. Detached garage with custom cabinets and tall ceiling large enough to store our canoe as well as ski, camping and other sports gear. Energy Efficiency: We are very focused on environmental issues so we installed a PV system which dramatically reduces the energy requirements from the grid, solar hot water (which reduces our gas needs for hot water, to zero in many months), and a heat exchange, which heats the pool and cools the house by exchanging the hot air from the attic to the pool. The pool also has a variable speed pump, which is very efficient. AV: We like good music and entertain so the house is wired for sound everywhere and we installed an 8 zone Sonos system and in-ceiling speakers as well as outdoor speakers on the patio and the rear yard. There are two media rooms (not home theaters in the conventional sense) with large screen TVs and AV systems but we may take some of that equipment to our new house. The basement media room was designed so that it could become a home theater and is wired for that. Neighborhood/Schools: Wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks, mature trees and friendly neighbors. Kids walk and bike to Walter Hays Elementary, Jordan Middle School and Palo Alto High School. Tenant should independently verify school information. Easy access to downtown and midtown Palo Alto (walk or bike) as well as the rest of Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Other: New windows and doors (interior and exterior), alarm system, high efficiency furnaces. Custom cabinetry throughout. Custom tiles and finishes in kitchen and baths. Availability: ~ August 10, before the Palo Alto School year begins Rent: $12,000-$15,000, depending on the terms Lease term: 1 or 2 years. Option to buy at the end of year two is open for discussion
