About the property

Located in a mature and well established neighborhood in Palo Alto, this quaint and charming 4 bedroom/2 bath home looks forward to welcoming you soon. Enjoy a sense of comfort and calm entering the home, brightly illuminated by natural light. Plenty of space to relax, unwind, cook, dine, and enjoy movie night. Walking distance to parks, trails, restaurants, cafes and a short drive to San Francisco and San Jose, and a quick hop over the hill to the beach in either Half Moon Bay or Santa Cruz.

Enjoy a peaceful retreat from the moment you pull into the driveway. Utilize the driveway for parking for up to 2 guest vehicles, along with additional street parking if needed. This charming blue home with lush vegetation is equipped to host 8 guests with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.

Open the front door to a charming seating area, perfect for sipping on your morning cup of coffee or reading a good book. If you didn't bring a book, don't worry because we have you covered. Get lost in the pages of the books provided on the bookshelf. Please note the fireplace is decorative only and is not usable.

Located just off the seating room is where you will find an open floor plan featuring the kitchen, dining area, and living room. While cooking can feel like a chore, let alone while on vacation, our home is equipped with the basic necessities to eliminate the hassle of it all. However, we recommend exploring local restaurants and cafes which are located within walking distance. Enjoy a meal as a family around the dining table. After a day of exploration and fun, cozy up on the couch and utilize the Smart TV for family movie night.

Access the patio and backyard from the dining area, and from guest bedroom #3. Soak up the peaceful tranquility found outside with lots of trees, shade and habitat for all sorts of birds.

There are 4 total bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms in the home. The cozy master bedroom is equipped with a king bed and features an ensuite bathroom (shower only). All 3 guest bedrooms share the second full bathroom with a combination tub/shower. Among the guest bedrooms you will find 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds.

The location is fantastic and walking distance to parks, trails, restaurants, cafes and a short drive to San Francisco and San Jose and for various beach outings, hop over the hill to Half Moon Bay (25 miles) or Santa Cruz (40 miles).

Fun spots nearby for the kids to play include Monroe Park, Del Medio Park and Mitchell Park with the Magical Bridge Playground.

We are close to everything, including anything on Stanford University campus (2.7 miles); close to downtown Palo Alto (4.8 miles away from the home) where you can find great food and great coffee. About a 1 hour (36 miles) drive to San Francisco and 35 minutes (15.5 miles) from San Jose. Perfect location!

Depending on your itinerary while in town, you can either rent a car or many guests rely on Uber and Lyft which are always available within minutes.

While relaxing and enjoying your stay, some details to keep in mind are:

  1. Season by season, when the ground shifts the door going from the garage to the backyard may stick or come out of alignment.

  2. The heating system is efficient and works very well but just needs to be adjusted at the thermostats to desired temperature. There is one thermostat in the kitchen and one in the master bedroom at the back of the house.

  3. The only camera is the Ring doorbell at the front of the house.

  4. With the age of the home, there is no AC system. In the warmer Summer months, the ceiling fans and portable room fans manage the temperature and keep the climate comfortable quite nicely.

  5. While there is ample patio space in the backyard to relax and unwind, the front yard and backyard landscaping are very minimal so as to require as little water as possible during the past several draught years.

  6. The fireplace is for decorative purposes only - NOT FOR USE FOR FIRES.

  7. The house is child friendly, but not baby proofed.

  8. Areas of the home where guests are not allowed access are:
    a) Front Workroom to the right of the fireplace
    b) Larger Storage Structure in left rear corner of backyard
    c) Smaller Storage Structure in right rear corner of backyard
    d) Attic Storage Area
