Ideally situated just steps from Stanford University, this classic home boasts gleaming hardwood floors, original millwork, spacious rooms, and a beautiful park-like yard. A welcoming front porch and covered entrance open to a sun-soaked living room with charming built-ins and a reading nook, a generous family room that flows seamlessly to the kitchen and the dining room, and an eat-in kitchen overlooking the spacious backyard. All four bedrooms are housed on the upper level and enjoy abundant closet space and rich hardwood floors. A grove of mature oak trees frames the expansive backyard filled with verdant plantings, lush lawn, meandering pathways, garden beds, multiple fruit trees, and idyllic sitting areas. Fully updated while retaining its historic charm, the home is turn-key ready, yet with ample space for further remodeling and/or expansion. Located in the highly sought-after College Terrace neighborhood and an easy walk from Stanford, local parks, the shops, restaurants, and weekly farmers' market on California Avenue, the Stanford Dish Trail, excellent schools, and major tech employers.
