About This Home
As of May 2023Nestled in the popular Willows neighborhood, this charming ranch home has been lovingly updated. Once behind the picket fence, past the verdant front lawn, and up the brick walkway, you enter a spacious living and dining room with fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and gleaming hardwood floors. Large picture windows and a glass door offer seamless integration to the pristine back patio, inviting a sense of indoor-outdoor living. Open to the dining area, the stunning kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled with marble countertops, beautiful cabinetry, and excellent stainless-steel appliances, all of which rest under a spectacular skylight. Two large bedrooms lie on either side of an exquisitely appointed bathroom, featuring marble countertops and tile floors, as well as a rain shower over tub. Additionally, a bonus room provides flexibility for usage as a bedroom, office, or home gym. Acclaimed Menlo Park schools and proximity to both Downtown Palo Alto and Menlo Park complete the picture.
