What We Want: Property of the Week - 11 Phillips Road, Palo Alto

Today we're taking a peek inside a 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom, 6,400+ square foot new build in Palo Alto on the market for $8.789M.  

This modern home is a take on the classic Craftsman and it's classic style effortlessly blends into the established Crescent Park Addition neighborhood.  With energy-efficient design, the open concept floor plan includes 18 foot front windows that span the floating staircase that connects the two levels.  

Moving into the great room, you'll find a kitchen featuring European cabinetry, the requisite top-of-the-line appliances, and plumbing fixtures that are both modern and beautiful. We love the window wall that features floating cabinets and marble subway tile from countertop to ceiling. 

The large island is simply gorgeous. Featuring a marble countertop with waterfall design, integrated modern farmhouse sink, and sleek cooktop, this space easily seats 4 with additional seating in the dining area of the great room.

The living room potion of the great room features a large area for seating, an exquisitely designed fireplace, and walls of glass that recess into the wall allowing easy access to the backyard.

The six en-suite bedrooms include individually designed bathrooms.  Each bathroom includes stunning bathroom tile combinations that bring personality to each space. There are also two half bathrooms.

Moving to the basement, you'll find an office, gym, wine cellar, and more.  White oak floors tie all spaces together and may be found in all spaces.

Other spaces others usually overlook but shouldn't in this house? The mudroom and laundry room.  Impressive! The laundry room is L A R G E and features not one but two washers and two dryers.  Additionally this space includes ample storage, pet food storage and serving area, and a pet bath.  The mudroom features plenty of hanging space and cubbies for everything the kids come home from school with.

The only place we're not impressed? The backyard. This is such a great entertaining house and the backyard lets us down.  There is a great patio however, the rest of the backyard is lawn.  At this price point ($1371/square foot), we would expect to see a pool, outdoor kitchen, and/or fire pit. 

Backyard aside, we love the design and location of this house. Additional details may be found on the home website including a virtual tour.  Greg Celotti from Alain Pinel is the listing agent.  All photos included in this post are from the listing site. All photos were taken by Blu Sky Media.
