Discover 180 Palo Alto

Set high atop Twin Peaks, 180 Palo Alto Avenue stands as a defining example of Northern California mid-century modernism. Designed in 1958 by Campbell & Wong Associates, the residence reflects the firm’s mastery of proportion, light, and materiality. Known for their sculptural forms and interior clarity, Campbell & Wong’s work was closely aligned with the Case Study House movement that shaped American modernism from the 1940s through the 1960s. Here, their vision takes form in sweeping walls of glass that frame San Francisco’s skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Bay beyond.

The approach is understated. A modest entry gate opens to a stairway that descends into a sheltered garden, a moment of calm before the home unfolds. Inside, natural light and views extend through every space, connecting interiors to landscape in the effortless way that defined the era. In the family room and kitchen, four sets of French doors create an easy dialogue between indoors and out, opening to sunlit terraces and lush greenery. A marble-topped island anchors the gourmet kitchen, conceived equally for cooking and gathering, while the adjoining living and dining rooms flow toward a balcony running the length of the home, where the city stretches to the horizon.

Upstairs, the primary suite commands the panorama, joined by two additional bedrooms and an office, each with private decks that frame the surrounding environment. The lower level adds versatility with a family room, additional bedroom, office, and full bath, offering space for guests or retreat. With its layered terraces, internal garden, and two-car garage, the property endures as a masterwork of mid-century design—timeless in its architecture and uniquely set against San Francisco’s most cinematic backdrop.
