Lan Liu Bowling Presents

947 Colonial Lane, Palo Alto

Masterfully reimagined and extensively rebuilt from the studs, this exceptional home is a sophisticated expression of modern Palo Alto living. Soaring 13’6” ceilings in the main living area and 11’ ceilings in the bedrooms, together with strategically placed clerestory windows and sculptural skylights, create a remarkable sense of openness, volume, and natural light. A thoughtfully designed single-story floor plan provides effortless everyday living.

Beautifully curated materials and exceptional craftsmanship define this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence, including wide-plank European white oak flooring, hidden baseboards, trimless doors and windows, gracefully arched architectural elements, and oversized custom insulated iron doors. Distinctive oval, circular, and cone-shaped skylights introduce light from above while adding an artistic dimension to the architecture.

The living room is anchored by a linear bioethanol fireplace encased in sculptural plaster, creating a seamlessly integrated focal point. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen features a dramatic 13-foot waterfall island, custom European-style cabinetry, integrated PITT professional gas burners, and premium Gaggenau and Liebherr appliances. A fully finished butler’s pantry provides additional storage and preparation space.

Spa-inspired bathrooms feature seamless Tadelakt plaster, an ancient Moroccan waterproof lime finish prized for its smooth, organic character. The primary suite offers an oversized two-person soaking tub, curbless shower with linear drain, smart toilet with integrated bidet and heated seat, and a private four-person dry sauna with Wi-Fi controls, creating a serene at-home wellness retreat.

Sophisticated layered lighting and smart-home technology are seamlessly integrated throughout, complemented by a high-efficiency 5-zone heating and cooling system, energy-efficient LED lighting, Cat6 wiring, smart security, landscape lighting and irrigation controls, along with extensive infrastructure upgrades.

A private courtyard extends the living space outdoors with redwood decking, ambient lighting, drought-resistant landscaping, smart irrigation, and low-maintenance turf.

Ideally located near Greer Park, Midtown Shopping Center, California Avenue, Stanford University, and Caltrain, this distinctive home brings together architectural volume, abundant natural light, refined materials, advanced technology, and thoughtful craftsmanship for an exceptional blend of style, comfort, and modern Palo Alto living.
