To encourage time spent outdoors, this Palo Alto house has NanaWall folding glass doors between the family room and the backyard, and multiple terraces. There’s also a heated pool and spa in the backyard.
This house has "understated elegance," listing agent Samia Cullen said. "The grandeur of the entrance and the space gives it the feel of a grand property, and in the meantime, it’s not over the top."
Located in tech-heavy Silicon Valley, this house’s design allows for easy work-from-home accessibility. The master suite on the upper level features two separate offices, in addition to two walk-in closets, and a master bathroom with a steam shower, large bathtub, dual sink vanity and heated limestone floors.
There are three more bedrooms on the same level with vaulted ceilings.

Stats
The house has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and one half bathroom spread across 7,743 square feet and three levels. This includes a guest suite with a full bathroom and three Murphy beds on the lower level. There is also a two-car garage.
