DYNAMITE Price! Walkable to Willows Grocery Store with the best BBQ sandwiches in town if we are keeping it simple! Walkable/bikable to downtown Palo Alto without the Palo Alto pricing?! Bikable to Facebook, University Avenue, and Stanford University as well as the Stanford clinics, and the Menlo Park CalTrain station. Even with a nearby bus stop and Free Willow Shuttle to CalTrain, it couldn't be simpler to commute via public transit. This Garden Chic home is in Bloom and has been Amazingly upgraded for the next Homeowners including a New Gourmet Kitchen with Luxurious Bosch Appliances for whipping up Culinary Delights. The potential of an Accessory Dwelling Unit, per Menlo Park's building department, is more than a possibility! So pull over, leave those crazy cars behind and put on your sneakers at the front door of this sweet home and walk/bike/bus/shuttle to school/work/local eats! This home is ready to GO!
