About This Property
765 University Avenue is a Victorian-style home built in 1907 and designated as a historic property by the Palo Alto Historical Association. Oozing with character and charm, it offers a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience and comes with a front yard with delightful landscaped gardens, water features, and multiple seating areas - all shielded from street view by a used brick wall that presents additional privacy and security!
Oversized windows and french doors provide plenty of natural light within this lovely home designed for both intimate, and large gatherings. Hardwood floors lead from the foyer to a very large living and dining room, and to an enclosed front porch with a built-in bar complete with a copper sink & wine refrigerator.
The upgraded eat-in kitchen comes with granite countertops and recently upgraded stainless steel appliances including a side by side refrigerator, combination microwave/convection oven, a 2nd convection oven, and a 5-burner gas range. Bespoke cabinetry encloses these appliances creating a roomy, streamlined, and functional kitchen that will pass the meticulous standards of any aspiring chef!
A separate family room with a cheerful fireplace is found by the kitchen and features views of the heated pool and jacuzzi tub in the backyard. Plenty of attention was given to sound-proofing, allowing for simultaneous activity in the various living areas without the usual disturbances that accompany such.
A definite highlight of this home is the three seasons deck centered on the gas fireplace chimney with bluestone hearth and commercial grade heaters tucked into the surrounding arbor. Adjacent to it is an outdoor kitchen fitted with Italian tiled countertops, built-in Viking Range, Uline refrigerator, and an all-weather sink.
An alfresco dining area edged in climbing roses and wisteria, with built-in bench seating, completes the outdoor entertainment set-up. Professional, exterior lighting is installed throughout, making outdoor evening gatherings as inviting as daytime ones. This deck was in fact featured on the front covers of both Better Homes & Gardens, and Sports Illustrated!
The upper floor holds three bedrooms designed for utmost privacy, and the most refreshing sleep! The master suite comes with a spa-like ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, a separate shower and jetted tub, and a luxurious sauna bath!

A 2-car, EV-ready garage, and 2 driveways offer plenty of room to park with street parking as an additional option.
