Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property underwent a major remodel and second-story addition in 2004, making the core systems and finishes approximately 22 years old. While the home is well-maintained with refinished bamboo floors and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen cabinetry and overall aesthetic are dated according to the >20-year criteria, and major systems (HVAC/Electric) are likely approaching the end of their typical functional lifespan.
Situated in the highly desirable Willows neighborhood, the property offers proximity to major tech hubs like Meta and Stanford, while providing access to top-tier, award-winning Menlo Park schools.
The home features multiple ground-level terraces, private balconies for both upstairs bedrooms, and a professionally landscaped backyard with a fire pit and grill, creating a seamless transition for entertaining.
With cathedral ceilings, numerous skylights, and an open-concept kitchen/family room combo, the interior offers a bright, airy, and contemporary feel that is highly sought after by modern buyers.
