You will be less than 1.5 miles from downtown Palo Alto and the Caltrain station, close to Facebook and many other tech offices & in the coveted Menlo Park school district. The front of the home is framed by a low brick wall; trees and bamboo keep it private. The front door opens to a convenient mud room. From there, enter a bright living space, with gleaming hardwood floors. Lots of windows fill the space with sunlight. Corner windows brighten the dining area and showcase the serene yard. You will love your kitchen with beautiful cabinetry, stainless appliances, and granite counters. The sizable window overlooks the backyard. The bedrooms are nicely sized. Maybe use one for a sunny home office? The backyard features a perfect combination of lawn and planter boxes. The renovated garage is converted into a small studio unit with a complete kitchen and bath. Need extra income? A place for the in-laws? A home office? The lengthy driveway supports multiple vehicles.
