    This lovely mid-century ranch-style home (with entrance on Alta Mesa Avenue) is located near the tranquil Barron Park neighborhood and close to top-rated neighborhood schools and parks, and minutes from Stanford University. The location is prime - near the California Avenue shops & restaurants, public transportation, Sunday Farmers Market, and a short drive to Silicon Valleys major tech companies. Property highlights are three spacious bedrooms with cedar-lined closets, a large living room with wood-burning fireplace, dual pane windows throughout the home, a back porch and two natural stone entertaining patios. The spacious detached garage with 3rd bathroom (permit status unknown) lends itself to multiple uses, from home office, to fitness area, to additional play room, as well as potential conversion into an ADU (subject to Palo Alto building and planning department rules). A few blocks to schools, restaurants and many conveniences.
