Captivating Palo Alto Contemporary
In the heart of Downtown Palo Alto, sits this 6,000 square foot home with stunning architectural features, cradled within lush landscaping that provides privacy as well as fabulous curb appeal. As the front yard sets the scene for what’s in store inside, you can see the first impression does count. And here it makes a statement!
As you move into the space, you’ve entered into an indoor-outdoor living space separate from the outside world. The front yard becomes an inviting zone to spend time with friends and family for gatherings throughout the year. With a terraced lawn doubling as an amphitheatre, the full of life homeowners recently hosted over 20 family members for a long weekend with entertainment by "Cosmo the Magnificent". Their guests can move seamlessly from one space to the next for cocktails, football games, or a movie night. The Rooftop seating allows for a birds eye view to take in the sunset or enjoy the outdoor festivities.

Julie Cavanaugh, Principal Interior Designer and Founder of Design Matters, redesigned the main floor living space to produce an updated, cohesive interior. The main floor was partitioned with interior floating cabinetry, sectioning off each area so the view and ceiling configuration were unrealized to their best potential. The entire entry floor was completely reimagined. By incorporating the houses’ unique architecture, accentuating the angles in slopes with subtleties like clipped corner slanted shelves in the same angular degree of the ceilings, artwork that highlights the natural indoor-outdoor flow with the fully retractable doors at the dining room, entry, and both sides of the family room. It gave an incredible groundwork for our designers to reimagine the spaces and give this gorgeous house the bandwidth to sing it’s best song ever! This incredible property, now designed, curated, and tailored for our clients, highlights its incredible architecture!
