What's special

This bright and inviting home offers nearly 2,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in one of Palo Alto's most beloved neighborhoods. Light-filled interiors create an airy ambiance throughout, with a contemporary floorplan featuring a walk-out living room, a quartz-appointed kitchen that flows seamlessly into the dining room, and a welcoming family room beneath a vaulted ceiling. Four comfortable bedrooms provide flexibility for family living, including a serene primary suite with sliding glass doors opening to a private deck overlooking the creek that runs along the rear of the property. The gentle sounds of the water and the natural privacy created by the creek transform the backyard into a peaceful retreat rarely found in such a central location. Just moments from Bol Park, Barron Park donkeys, California Avenue, and highly regarded schools including Barron Park Elementary, this home offers the ideal balance of privacy, convenience, and Barron Park charm.
