A rare find in Palo Alto - spacious single-story living on nearly half an acre! Located on a cul-de-sac in the serene Esther Clark Park neighborhood, this updated home offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, convenience, and room to expand.
With a sun-lit open floor plan and vaulted ceilings, enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living. Multiple access points lead to the beautifully landscaped backyard, complete with a sparkling pool, large entertaining patio, grass and play areas, and mature foliage for both beauty and privacy.
Enjoy two generously sized primary suites with en suite bathrooms, along with three additional bedrooms. The updated kitchen and bathrooms, brand new hardwood flooring, and fresh paint throughout create a move-in-ready opportunity.
This tucked away neighborhood offers truly special living with its natural beauty, spacious estates, and access to parks - yet just around the corner from Stanford and tech hubs. The home is zoned to top-rated Palo Alto schools: Nixon Elementary, Fletcher Middle, and Gunn High School (buyer to verify eligibility). Lastly, enjoy peace of mind - this home is not in a flood zone, an earthquake fault or seismic hazard zone, nor a fire hazard severity zone (per the natural hazards report).
