Remarks

Nestled in one of the most cherished locations in all North Palo Alto, this timeless home is perfectly situated mere moments away from everything Community Center has to offer, including Rinconada Park, Lucie Stern, both the main and childrens libraries, and the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo. Once through the front door, you are greeted by an inviting living room with handsome built-in bookshelves and fireplace, which in turn flows to a large formal dining room. The spacious kitchen is thoroughly equipped for the home chef and opens to a charming family room. Tucked away on the first floor, the primary suite features a luxurious bathroom and a generous walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms lie upstairs with dormer windows. A fourth bedroom, located off the living room, is ideally positioned for a home office or guests. The yard is private and serene, featuring a brick patio for al fresco dining and an enchanting formal rose garden, as well as a detached one-car garage.
