Midtown Designer Living In PALO ​ALTO

 2608 Bryant Street, Palo Alto
 
Located in the heart of Palo Alto’s desirable Midtown neighborhood, this beautiful home was re-built in 2006 with stylish, yet timeless, architectural appeal and modern functionality. In 2019, the home was masterfully remodeled including all new kitchen, bathrooms, and floors. Located on renowned Bryant Street – designated as a bicycle boulevard for a safer, more pleasant environment – the setting provides an idyllic lifestyle just moments from parks, shopping, and acclaimed schools.
 
Picture-perfect curb appeal is complete with manicured boxwoods, mature trees, and a classic columned portico. Inside, designer style enhances every space – from engineered white oak floors and a striking staircase to a stunning kitchen, fully renovated in 201 with quartz countertops, waterfall-wrapped island, and top-of-the-line appliances. The layout is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living with a formal living and dining area with fireplace, a spacious family room open to the kitchen, and easy indoor/outdoor connections to the private rear yard.
 
With 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths all newly updated in 2019, the home offers exceptional flexibility. Two main-level bedrooms are ideal for guests and a home office, while the upstairs primary suite provides a luxurious retreat with jetted tub and separate shower. Two additional upstairs bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed bath.
 
The rear yard is a true sanctuary with expansive lawn, bouquet canyon stone patio, lush gardens, and a tranquil fountain. Practical amenities include an attached 2-car garage with EV charging, two laundry areas, and dual-zone air conditioning. All of this, just blocks to Hoover Park and minutes to Stanford University, makes this an excellent opportunity in a premier location.
