65 Kirby Place, Palo Alto, California 94301

Nature is an idyllic backdrop for this delightful custom home, designed by the Frank Lloyd Wright student, Ellis Jacobs. Nestled in a quiet Crescent Park cul-de-sac, 65 Kirby Pl. has a spacious backyard (16, 131 sf lot), partially shaded by a canopy of towering trees. An extensive brick patio follows the house past a vine-covered overhead arbor, down to a pool. The skylit, gourmet kitchen inspires cooks with sleek grey slab cabinetry, Viking appliances, and backyard views. Walls clad in clear heart redwood and set off with red clay bricks, bring natural materials to the forefront. Light flows in from clerestory windows, skylights, and iconic glass doors that slide open for a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The living room has extensive custom built-in cabinetry, redwood clad walls, and overhead wood beams. The semi-open floorplan naturally guides you from the living room into the light filled dining room with its own red clay brick fireplace and the clear heart redwood clad walls.
