Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2000 (24 years old), the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with updated wide-plank flooring. However, the kitchen cabinets and bathroom tiles appear original to the build date, making the home feel dated and placing it in the 'Fair' category based on age and the need for cosmetic modernization.
The property is ideally located for Silicon Valley professionals, offering quick access to Hwy 101 and short commutes to major employers including Meta, Google, and Stanford.
Built in 2000, the home features a contemporary two-story layout with soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, and wide-plank wood floors that maximize natural light and interior volume.
This move-in ready residence includes high-demand amenities such as central AC, a granite-countertop kitchen with a center island, and a comprehensive primary suite with a soaking tub.
The 3,022 square foot lot is relatively small, resulting in a compact backyard that may not satisfy buyers looking for significant green space or privacy buffer.
The assigned elementary school has a low performance rating, which could be a concern for families with young children and may impact long-term appreciation compared to neighboring districts.
Mature landscaping fronts this four-bedroom East Palo Alto home. Inside, a two-story plan opens to a main level with soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, wide-plank light wood floors, and a lot of natural light. The living and dining areas run together, then lead into a family room with a fireplace and a wall of windows facing the backyard. The kitchen sits right alongside: deep cabinet storage, granite counters, a center island, and a gas range, with a casual dining area that opens through sliders to the patio. A flex room works as a home office, guest room, or playroom. Upstairs, the primary suite has a sitting area, walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower, with the other bedrooms close by. The backyard is fenced and private, with a covered patio, low-maintenance hardscape, and room to garden or host. The attached two-car garage adds storage, and central AC keeps the house comfortable through the summer. The location puts University Square Park, Ravenswood Shopping Center, IKEA, Home Depot, Target, and local cafes within reach, with quick access to Hwy 101 and the Baylands/Ravenswood open space. Palo Alto, Stanford, Meta, and Google are all a short drive away. Move-in ready, and an easy home to settle into.
