Remarks

Timeless Tudor in Crescent Park! A truly exceptional opportunity in the most sought-after location in Palo Alto. This timeless Tudor, designed by renowned architect Charles K. Sumner, sits on an expansive 15,188 sq ft lot, an increasingly rare find in the area. The property has been home to only three families, including notable figures such as IBM legend Reynold Johnson and a MedTech CEO behind a historic acquisition adding a rich layer of Silicon Valley history to its undeniable charm. The main residence is complemented by an 843 sqft 2-car garage with an attached apartment, a 389 sqft cottage, and a beautifully landscaped, wedding-worthy garden and backyard retreat. Ideally located on one of Palo Alto's most beautiful streets, this home is just minutes from the nationally top-ranked Duveneck Elementary and a short stroll to Rinconada Library, the community pool, Childrens Theatre, arts center, tennis courts, and Eleanor Pardee Park. Enjoy easy biking distance to Stanford University and quick access to Hwy 101. With a rare lot size, updated interior, and endless potential, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a legacy home in Crescent Park.
