In the heart of midtown on a large lot rests this stately newer built Mediterranean villa. Anchored by a striking staircase with wrought iron balustrade, the open concept living and dining room embraces volume & light. The chef's kitchen with adjacent family room is the heart of the home, featuring an island, bay window, mosaic tile backsplash, and top appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Thermador. Through sliding glass doors, one encounters a verdant stretch of lawn and patio under a pergola. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts amenities such as a balcony overlooking the yard, a customized walk-in closet, and a luxuriously appointed bathroom. Designed for flexibility of use, there are two additional upstairs bedrooms, a full bedroom suite on the ground floor, a flexible fifth bedroom perfect for an office, and an alcove off the staircase offering space for a gym or homework nook. Primely positioned for daily living, the home is moments away from top Palo Alto schools and Mitchell Park.
