Description

Experience the best of Palo Alto living in this beautifully designed, fully detached 1-bedroom Craftsman guest cottage. Located right in town within the historic, tree-lined Professorville neighborhood, the cottage was custom-built to match the primary historic home on the property. It offers an exceptionally smart layout optimized for comfortable, efficient living. The location is ideal for anyone affiliated with Stanford or working downtown. You can walk to University Avenue dining, stroll to Town & Country Village shopping (Trader Joe's), or bike to the Stanford Quad in under 10 minutes. We are looking for a responsible tenant for a flexible 3-to-9-month lease that aligns with the Stanford academic quarters. The Space & Amenities: The Cottage: A light-filled layout with high ceilings and a property-wide high-speed mesh Wi-Fi network. The chef's kitchen is fully equipped with commercial-grade Zline appliances and premium cookware. The bedroom is furnished with a new queen bed and luxury bamboo linens. The bathroom was designed as a private retreat, featuring a deep standalone soaking tub, a separate open marble shower, high-quality linens, and an in-unit washer and dryer. The Backyard Oasis: The 5,500 sq. ft. lot is beautifully maintained to function as an outdoor living room. The backyard features an Italian travertine patio under a custom pergola, complete with an outdoor theater projector system, patio heaters, custom velvet cushions, and a premium outdoor Olympic weight set for convenient home workouts. The Pool & Garden: The shared backyard functions as a peaceful outdoor extension of the cottage, perfect for relaxing by the heated pool and integrated hot tub, reading or dining under the shaded pergola, or enjoying outdoor movie nights. We also keep a small, immaculate chicken coop on the property and are happy to share fresh, organic backyard eggs. This is a shared property. While the cottage is completely detached, the owners live in the main house across the pool and share it with two friendly dogs and an indifferent cat. This is an excellent choice for someone who appreciates elegance, convenience, and comfort.
