About This Home

As of June 2022

. Nestled minutes from Silicon Valley in one of Palo Alto's most coveted neighborhoods, Villa Fontana, this European-style estate was designed by celebrated Bay Area architect, Gardner Dailey. The park-like grounds boast six magical fountains among lush gardens,. Just beyond, explore the private park across the bridge for alfresco entertaining. In the estate, step into the 40-foot Great Room beneath its coffered ceilings, with home theatre and massive fireplace. French doors open wide to two elegant patios with fountains and a staircase down from the the four room primary suite. The suite is awe-inspiring: One of the estates two offices is located here, near the bedroom flanked by two balconies and marble bath. The newly remodeled kitchen makes hosting even more appealing, with white marble counters, etched-mirror cabinet doors, and an adjoining butlers pantry. Treasures await around every corner within this incredible estate.
