    Sports courtTwo dedicated officesDistinctive architectural characterOak floorsWalls of glassLarge patioSix bedrooms
    Set on nearly a quarter acre, this expanded and updated mid-century modern home offers more than 3,600 square feet of living space. Vaulted paneled ceilings, walls of glass, and distinctive architectural character speak to the home's original era, while thoughtful upgrades like oak floors and a modern kitchen with high-end Dacor appliances bring it into the present. The bright, open layout creates easy flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, with natural light pouring in from multiple angles. With six bedrooms, including a spacious and private primary suite, plus two dedicated offices, the home provides exceptional flexibility for families, guests, or working from home. The backyard is ideal for both entertaining and unwinding, complete with a large patio and sports court. All of this just minutes from University Avenue, with parks, commute options, and top-rated schools like Duveneck Elementary and Palo Alto High nearby (buyer to verify eligibility).
