About this property

Greek island inspired three bedroom home

This three bedrooms two and a half bath home is located in a charming and quite neighborhood, The house is close to Facebook HQ and Stanford University as well as a local market, bakery, Starbucks, Brewery, and an excellent Mexican Restaurant in a walking distance.
The house has been completely redesigned, rebuilt and includes a new second floor addition, a large new BELGARD European cobblestone driveway, as well as much admired "Story Book" front garden that welcomes you upon arrival.
The space
From the outset we wanted to create a place of serenity where guests could enjoy a complete rest.
in order to carry out that goal we designed this modest interpretation o the Greek islands Architecture.
The Greek islands provide for people from all over the world a place for complete rejuvenation. Travelers attain that deep relaxation by learning to surrender to the islands simple but striking beauty.
We designed the first floor as an indoor patio around a cactus and orchid garden. the garden / solarium is actually the living room. The open dining room has a view of the indoor garden and both are next to the open Gourmet kitchen that is also connected to a private deck and garden.
Half a level up is the Master Bedroom with a King size bed that leads to an extra large walk in shower room with a large upper sky window.
In few further up stairs there is another sleeping area, separated by a door with two more bedroom, one o them with another King size bed. The two King size beds enjoy Italian tailored Hotel, Satin stitched bedding collection purchased from "Restoration Hardware".
The upper bedrooms lead to a large second floor deck with a covered sitting area and a roof garden. Throughout the house there is a new Traver tine stone floor as well as a new drywall, plumbing, electrical and roofing. Most rooms enjoy a vaulted / coffer ceilings
All three bedrooms have HVAC. Laundry is by the kitchen.
Original paintings with a Greek island Motif done by Amnon are displayed throughout the house. Enhanced house cleaning process is done. All surfaces are disinfected and sanitized..

Light-filled modern home

We had a lovely four week stay at Amnon's house. This house shows how a talented architect can elevate a modest suburban dwelling into a something exceptional. The open-plan ground floor is flooded with light from windows & skylights. Amnon keeps a wonderful selection of plants inside and out, providing a constant connection to nature. The outlook is completely private, and the interior décor is tasteful and calming. The ground floor heating takes a few hours to warm up from cold, but it's then easy to maintain temperature. There's a small smart TV, although the location makes watching from the sitting area tricky. The master bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom with two basins and big shower. On the upper floor, there's a spacious bedroom with large south-facing windows and balcony, and one smaller bedroom, plus shared bathroom. The layout and use of space is excellent. The property is the main unit of three. This unit benefits from the main front door and use of the driveway. There is a bit of noise transfer on occasion, but clever design maximises privacy. Amnon welcomed us and was happy to help with anything throughout. He tolerated our noisy young children and associated clutter, and helped us with late checkout on our last day as we had an evening flight. The neighbourhood is safe & quiet, yet very convenient for 101. We walked around and met friendly neighbours. We loved our stay in this well executed and cared for property. Thank you Amnon, we hope to return!

A fantastic neighborhood perfect for travelers

My parents were visiting me from abroad and I booked Amnon's house for five days. They had a great time during their stay and especially loved the quiet neighborhood. The house was spacious, with a lot of character and perfect for my parents who appreciated the serene surrounding. I highly recommend Amnon's house for travelers tired of the city noise and traffic.

Lots of SUNSHINE

We loved all the windows and art. I spent time reading in the upper bedrooms because of great sunshine that filled the rooms. Super location...quick drive to the conference my husband was attending. We used the kitchen daily; liked the well designed eating area that was easy the use and clean. Did a few loads of laundry. Only negative: we felt the main floor was too cool to enjoy fully. The owner provided a space heater; however, I may have tripped the circuit breaker or something and we were not able to use it.

Lovely home

Stayed here over the holiday weekend with our adult children. The home is spacious, very clean with lots of natural light. Multi level so take consideration if there are mobility concerns (all bedrooms upstairs). Bedrooms were good size and very comfortable. The owner was very responsive and attentive. Would stay there again!

Mediterranean get-a-way

Our family loved staying here & the house was in a good location for us. The house has an open floor plan with a basic equipped kitchen, dining, and living area. Bedrooms were upstairs on different levels which provided privacy. The host met us at check-in to hand over the keys and house details. Thanks for everything!

Wonderful Palo Alto/Menlo Park retreat

We recently spent a week at this wonderful vacation property. The location was especially convenient to Stanford where my son was attending a camp and an easy drive to San Francisco to sightsee. The decor is bright, fresh, and inviting. Bedrooms very comfortable, bathrooms clean and nicely equipped, living spaces generously sized and comfortable. Clearly an artists eye designed and finished these spaces. We would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back to the area.

Wonderful stay!

Really appreciated the cleanliness, beauty, and uniqueness of this property. We loved spending our morning’s and evenings on the deck surrounded by greenery. The owner was very kind and responsive. The only thing I wish was in the description prior to renting is that the owner (& friend) would be staying in the front room of the home. Otherwise it was an incredible visit and would definitely love to stay here again.

Peace of mind

Stay here if you want a worry free getaway! The positive reviews for this property are right on par. Conveniently located to main roads and Stanford U, but nestled within a nice community for daily strolls. The interior was clean and thoughtfully appointed, a light and airy feel without feeling stuffy. The owner was courteous and responsive. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and clean. The outdoor garden and patio were lovely. We will definently be back! 10 out of 10!

Beautiful home in great location

Our family loved our stay in your beautiful home! It was so clean, comfortable and a perfect location as our teens were attending a camp at Stanford which was just a short drive away.

Beautiful place with artistic touches.

We really enjoyed our stay at Amnon's. It's even more beautiful in person. He welcomed us and was such a pleasant and interesting man to meet. The home is filled with his artwork. He also does his own landscaping and is to thank for the abundance of flowers, figs, oranges, and mulberries! The home is in a very sweet and quiet neighborhood, close to everything we needed. I definitely recommend it and will stay again.
