About this home

This charming three bedroom, two bathroom ranch-style home in Green Gables features a flowing floorplan with easy access to the outdoors.

The spacious family room, located off the kitchen, is ideal for an at home office or play area. The grounds, once featured in Sunset Magazine, are secluded and offer a private sanctuary. Downtown Palo Alto, Duveneck Elementary, Greene Middle School and Palo Alto High School are all a short distance away.
