Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old but presents in excellent, move-in ready condition. The 'chef's kitchen' features high-end, top-tier appliances, dark cabinetry, granite countertops, and modern patterned flooring, suggesting significant updates or a very well-maintained original build. One bathroom showcases a contemporary vessel sink, modern faucet, and glass-enclosed shower, while the primary bathroom offers a jetted tub, double vanity, and clean, well-kept finishes. Hardwood floors are prevalent, and the home boasts modern amenities like AC on all levels and a Sonos system. While some elements in the primary bathroom might reflect its 2003 build, they are high-quality and well-maintained, not requiring immediate renovation. The overall quality, style, and features align with a 'Good' rating, indicating a property that is well-maintained with functional systems and some updated components.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Top Schools: Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in Palo Alto, offering excellent access to Terman Park, The Village at San Antonio Center, major commute routes, and zoned for highly-rated schools (Briones, Terman, Gunn).
Expansive Luxury Living Space: Boasting over 4,500 sq ft with 6 spacious bedrooms and 4 baths across three levels, featuring a modern Mediterranean design, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light.
Gourmet Kitchen & Entertainment Hub: Equipped with a chef's kitchen featuring top-tier appliances, a lower level with a wet bar and a 1,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, ideal for entertaining.
Sophisticated Outdoor Amenities: Includes a large third-floor terrace and an entertainer's backyard complete with a built-in grill, gas firepit, and a covered patio with a heater, extending living spaces outdoors.
Modern Comforts & Smart Home Integration: Features AC on all levels, a whole-home and backyard Sonos system, and a gated driveway with a detached garage, providing convenience, comfort, and security.

Cons

Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a price reduction from $5.988M to $5.75M, which, while a market adjustment, could lead some buyers to question initial pricing strategy or perceive a lack of immediate demand.
Standard Neighborhood View: While the property 'has_view:true', the description specifies a 'Neighborhood' view, which may not offer the dramatic or expansive scenic vistas (e.g., water, city lights, mountains) often sought after in luxury properties of this caliber.
Detached Garage Configuration: The presence of a detached garage, while offering a gated driveway, might be less convenient for some homeowners compared to an attached garage, particularly regarding direct access to the home or during adverse weather conditions.
