1157 Lincoln Avenue

Property Overview
The Spanish-inspired facade, with its terra-cotta tile porch and gracious overhanging roofline, sets the stage for the romance and character within. A thoroughly modern two-level retreat awaits, thoughtfully updated for today's most discerning buyer. The chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece dramatic navy subway tile, star-patterned tile floors, quartz countertops, a brass-fitted apron sink, and a dramatic skylight overhead. Appointed with a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Samsung microwave, and Cove dishwasher, it is as functional as it is beautiful. A charming dining nook, two bedrooms (one with a flexible Murphy bed), and a full bath with skylight, soaking tub, and shower complete the main level. Wide stairs, flanked by custom storage cabinetry, descend to a gracious lower-level living room featuring extensive custom cabinetry. Light-filled and serene, it defies every expectation of below-grade living. A well-appointed bedroom and the primary suite with a light well and 2026-renovated bathroom complete the retreat. Less than a mile to University Avenue's celebrated shops and restaurants, with easy access to Highway 101 and top Silicon Valley employers. Served by Palo Alto's finest schools.
