Property Description

Set behind gates on nearly an acre along Palo Alto's storied University Avenue, the Squire House has stood here for more than 120 years. Designed in 1904, this grand Neoclassical estate of nearly 8,400 total sq. ft. features a magnificent two-story portico with stately Ionic columns, a richly detailed pediment, and elegant arched entry. Inside, quarter-sawn oak floors, marble finishes, intricate millwork, and abundant natural light complement gracious formal rooms, a marble kitchen, private study, and generous living room with fireplace. Four bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite and spacious guest suite, while a finished lower level with game room and theater and a top-floor flex space provide room for recreation, work, and entertaining. Meticulously landscaped grounds feature sweeping lawns, a swimming pool, and trellis-covered terrace with fireplace, while a separate one-bedroom guest house offers additional space for guests or extended stays. Ideally located near downtown Palo Alto, Stanford University, and highly regarded schools, the Squire House presents a rare opportunity to own one of Palo Alto's most recognizable homes and a remarkable piece of the city's history.
