ABOUT
Tucked away in the coveted Leland Manor neighborhood of Palo Alto, 760 Northampton Drive is a distinguished single-family residence that beautifully blends timeless charm with modern luxury. Originally built in 1941, the home underwent a meticulous update in 2012, expanding its spacious layout to approximately 3,545 square feet of living space, complemented by an additional 425-square-foot ADU/studio. Offering four bedrooms, an office, four full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, this home provides ample flexibility and comfort for a variety of lifestyles.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each feature their own en-suite bathrooms, including the luxurious primary suite, which serves as a private retreat. On the ground floor, a bedroom with its own full bathroom adds extra privacy and versatility—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The residence sits on a lush 12,730-square-foot lot, offering a generous space for outdoor activities. The beautifully landscaped grounds elevate the home’s curb appeal and provide a serene environment perfect for both entertaining and relaxation.
The heart of the home is its chef-inspired kitchen, designed for both function and style. It boasts high-end Miele appliances, including a stand-alone refrigerator and freezer with an ice maker, a six-burner Thermador gas range, and a powerful range hood. Two Perlick beverage refrigerators—one for wine and one for other beverages—offer an added touch of convenience and sophistication. The marble-clad primary bathroom is a true sanctuary, complete with dual sinks and a large shower. Guests will also enjoy the elegant marble powder room. Throughout the home, fine details such as agate feature walls in the bathrooms, high-grade plumbing fixtures, and a hot water recirculating system for instant hot water further enhance its luxury.
For tech-savvy homeowners, the property includes smart home features like Lutron wall keypads integrated with a Control4 Audio/Visual system. This setup controls built-in ceiling speakers both inside and on the backyard patio, with additional remote speakers in the front room and living room, plus a subwoofer for immersive sound. The entire system can be managed via a mobile app or handheld remote. With top-of-the-line security features, including cameras and Nest integration, peace of mind is always within reach.
Step outside to a beautifully landscaped oasis, where a striking Black Sierra Granite fountain provides a peaceful backdrop. The outdoor living area is designed for ultimate enjoyment, with a built-in stainless-steel Weber BBQ with rotisserie, a custom BlueStone island, a fire pit, and a bench on the patio—perfect for savoring California evenings.
The home’s infrastructure is equally impressive, featuring advanced systems like the FloLogic leak detection system, an automatic clean air filtration system integrated into the HVAC, and a water filtration system that provides purified water throughout the home. For those with an electric vehicle, the garage is equipped with a dedicated charging port.
With thoughtful design and attention to detail, 760 Northampton Drive offers a perfect blend of convenience, elegance, and innovation. Whether hosting guests or enjoying everyday life, this exceptional Palo Alto home is truly a gem.
