Great bones of a family home with lovely, private backyard! Home is 1980 sf per town data report; but, we believe a past, unpermitted primary bedroom addition brings the total to 2180 sf. Great approx 400 sf family room off kitchen. New bathroom, newer roof, water heater, heat pump, lateral sewer line, plumbing lines and electrical. Access to driveway and garage is from May Brown. Only 1/2 mile to town and the San Mateo bike bridge to Stanford Shopping Center. Down the street from Hillview Middle School and close to Oak Knoll school. The home is the best deal in Central MP! Seller needs occupancy until early January. Looking for a COE within 30 days.
