-Modern Living + Income Potential in a Prime Peninsula Location-
A thoughtfully updated property of 1,867 sq ft offering versatility, comfort, and exceptional income potential.
The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths across ~1,274 sqft of remodeled living space, including an updated kitchen, modernized bathrooms, new flooring, and multi-zone HVAC for year-round comfort. The home has been refreshed inside and out, creating a bright, move-in-ready environment.
Adding significant value is the detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU (~593 sq ft), offering excellent flexibility for rental income, extended family, or a private workspace. The ADU presents strong income potential, with estimated rental income of $2,200-$2,400 per month (buyer to verify), providing an opportunity to offset monthly ownership costs.
The property offers a spacious lot with ample off-street parking via an extended tandem driveway and outdoor space ready for personalization.
Ideally located with convenient access to Highway 101, major tech campuses including Meta & Amazon, and the neighboring communities of Palo Alto and Menlo Park, this home combines accessibility with long-term growth potential.
A rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready, income-producing property in the heart of the Peninsula.
