Remarks

Phenomenal opportunity for a four bedroom home in top midtown Palo Alto neighborhood and school district. The home boasts traditional and generous spaces, from the formal entry which opens to an inviting living room with fireplace. The adjacent spacious dining room could double as home office or family room. The bright kitchen includes an informal dining and stainless appliances. Down the hall are the four bedrooms and two bathrooms, all with double-pane windows and throughout the interior of the home. A back patio provides an excellent place to relax in privacy, and the large yards on both sides provide ample space for gardening and outdoor entertainment. Terrific location bordering cul de sac and a friendly neighborhood. Excellent commute location with easy access to Hwy's 101 & 280, and Stanford University.
