What's special

Set on a cul-de-sac in Midtown, this inviting home blends timeless character with everyday comfort. A brick-lined path leads to the front door, opening to interiors filled with parquet hardwood floors, beamed and paneled ceilings, and abundant natural light. The thoughtful floorplan offers a welcoming living room with a fireplace, an elegant dining room, and a galley-style kitchen appointed with Wolf and Bosch appliances, while three bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or office use. Outside, the generous backyard features a deck and lawn, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Additional highlights include air conditioning, Andersen windows and doors, and an attached two-car garage. All of this is just moments from the Midtown Shopping Center, close to Hoover Park, and minutes to the shops, dining, and Caltrain along California Avenue, with access to acclaimed schools including El Carmelo Elementary, JLS Middle, and Palo Alto High (buyer to verify eligibility).
