Palo Alto Treehouse in the Birthplace of Silicon Valley

Drink a glass of wine on the private deck at this light-filled, modern haven surrounded by beautiful homes on tree-lined streets. Head out for an evening stroll to explore the local wine bars, restaurants, galleries, farmer's market and boutiques. One of the most sought after locations, just across from the HP Garage, a national landmark and the birthplace of Silicon Valley! This home is on the ground floor of a three-story Professorville home. We're surrounded by beautiful homes on tree-lined streets (a walker's paradise). We offer private driveway parking. Because you can walk to University Avenue, there are no parking or permit hassles. In our neighborhood you'll find cafes, boutiques, wine bars, the best restaurants and indie/vintage movie theaters. Major tech companies and Sandhill Road are minutes away. The entire house was remodeled in 2017, with new furniture throughout. There are three bedrooms, all of which have Casper mattresses. (If you haven't heard of them before, trust us when we say you'll have a great night's sleep). There is a fireplace in the living room, a wetbar with wine fridge, a private deck with Adirondack chairs and chaise lounges, and a fully-stocked kitchen. (I was a chef in New York City--so if you need something exotic, I'm bound to have it.) Guests can have full access to a washer/dryer as well as our electric car charger. We've published a 24-page full-color guide book with restaurant reviews (including kid-friendly spots), a must-have map for travelers' necessities and a list of things to do in Palo Alto. We'll tell you everything you need to know, from the best places to hike, activities for art lovers or artists, farmers' markets, nearby parks, where to find a great dry cleaner or who brews the best cup of coffee. We live in the top two floors (entirely separate) and are available anytime to share all of our local knowledge. Professorville is a registered historic district in Palo Alto. Today it is home to some of the world's biggest tech executives. Tree-lived streets are perfect for walking. Here you’ll get to see the private HP Garage, which is closed to the public. This is the best part. You won't need a parking pass, much less a car to access the lively downtown area. CalTrain is a 10-minute walk, where you can take the Baby Bullet train to San Francisco in less than 45 minutes. The same train can take you to AT&T Park to see the Giants or to Levi's Stadium to see the 49ers. Both SFO and SJO are a 30-minute drive from our home and SFO is also accessible by train. Stanford Shopping Center and the Stanford campus are a 5-minute drive, although we'd recommend the walk down Palm Drive because it is so beautiful.
