About 1535 Cowper St
Outstanding opportunity to enjoy today or reimagine for the future in the heart of Old Palo Alto. Spacious one-level floor plan with 6 bedrooms, family room, 4 baths and fully painted partial basement. Refreshed with new paint inside and out, updated flooring, kitchen, and baths, plus beautiful landscaping including newer electronic driveway and pedestrian gates. Original Spanish Colonial Revival details include graceful arches, decorative tile accents, coffered ceilings, and a striking fireplace in the formal living room. French doors open to a charming front courtyard and expansive terrace, plus there is a fenced side yard with pool. Just one block from Gamble Garden, one mile from downtown University Avenue, and minutes from Stanford University and acclaimed Palo Alto schools.
