Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1947, the home is well-maintained with refinished oak floors and fresh paint, but the kitchen features dated cabinetry and finishes likely from a 20-30 year old renovation. With only one bathroom for three bedrooms and older systems implied by the age, it meets the criteria for needing cosmetic and functional updates.
Situated in the highly desirable Willows neighborhood, the property offers proximity to both Palo Alto and Menlo Park and falls within the prestigious Menlo Park school district.
The converted garage provides a spacious 'rumpus room' ideal for a home office or additional living area, adding valuable functional square footage to the 1,150 sqft layout.
The home features classic oak floors, skylights for natural light, and French doors that open to a mature, landscaped rear yard, creating an inviting California bungalow atmosphere.
With three bedrooms and only one bathroom, the home's configuration may be a significant drawback for modern families and could impact resale value compared to updated peers.
At 1,150 square feet, the interior living space is relatively small for the $2.15M price point, potentially requiring future expansion to maximize the utility of the 5,005 sqft lot.
Cheerful bungalow style home in the desirable Willows area of Menlo Park. Charming red brick patio in front yard near the wisteria and mature pomegranate tree. Covered porch entry.
