About this home

Recently Updated (2023) Four Bedroom Home This wonderful home is located near the Atherton-Woodside-Redwood City borders, away from through streets and only a short walk away from the Menlo Country Club & bikable to Stanford University. Its large private courtyard provides a delightful outdoor area for entertaining that welcomes guests to your home. Recent renovations were completed in 2023 and included new windows, furnace, and other underpinnings beyond the obvious modern and beautiful kitchen and bath fixtures and finishes. The large living and dining room looks out over the courtyard and features an open beam ceiling and cozy wood burning fireplace. The adjacent kitchen opens to the dining area through a wide passageway. Bedrooms are at the back of the house. It should be noted that the 4th bedroom is large enough to be a family room or office. Although located in an area intentionally designed as a tranquil residential location (bordered by Atherton & Woodside), a few cafes are a short walk away. A moderately long walk will get you to numerous shops and cafes. Stanford and Sand Hill Road firms are easily reached by bike. Main commute routes are easily accessible.

Prime & Tranquil Location: Situated near the desirable Atherton-Woodside-Redwood City borders, the property offers a tranquil residential setting away from through streets, with a short walk to Menlo Country Club.
Exceptional Commutability: The location provides excellent access, being bikable to Stanford University and Sand Hill Road firms, and offering easy access to main commute routes, ideal for Bay Area professionals.

Cons

Age of Original Construction: Built in 1955, despite recent renovations, the property's original construction date may imply potential for unforeseen maintenance or a desire for more contemporary architectural styles for some buyers.
Limited Immediate Retail Access: While some cafes are a short walk away, a 'moderately long walk' is required to reach numerous shops and cafes, suggesting less immediate access to a bustling commercial center.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The description highlights a new furnace but does not specify the presence of a cooling system, which could be a consideration for comfort during warmer months.
