About this home
Welcome to 838 Cowper Street--refined and modern living in coveted Professorville, just a three-minute walk to downtown Palo Alto. Built in 2014, this 5-bedroom, 4.2-bath home offers 3,629 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a 5,600 square foot lot. Soaring 11' ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass sliders, and Velux skylights fill the home with natural light. A dramatic 130-square-foot living wall of 650 plants and tiled waterfall create striking architectural focal points. The chef's kitchen features marble slab waterfall countertops, gas range, wine refrigerator, and built-in Bosch, Miele, and Thermador appliances. The basement extends the home's exceptional entertaining range with a fully equipped wet bar, home theater with surround sound, and (unexpectedly) a spacious, light-gathering patio. The home opens to a backyard with a jetted in-ground hot tub and outdoor kitchen with gas-plumbed grill, sink, and beverage fridge. Lutron lighting, motorized shades, 5-zone Sonos with Bowers & Wilkins speakers, and HEPA filtration provide modern comfort.
