Remarks

Two homes on one large lot at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac near the Bay wetlands, with views toward the Bay. The front home has been freshly updated with new flooring, new paint, and an all-new kitchen with new appliances. Walk in to the main living area, with the kitchen just off to the left and the bedrooms and bathrooms set toward the back of the house. Behind it, a detached two-bedroom, two-bath ADU built just a few years ago sits above a two-car garage, with an additional room below for storage or a home office. All permits are final. Live in one and rent the other, share the property across generations with separate living quarters, or work from home next door. The fenced lot and large driveway leave plenty of room for parking, guests, and outdoor space, with covered parking in the garage. With no through traffic at the end of the cul-de-sac, the setting stays calm and quiet. Meta's campus and Highway 101 are only minutes away by car, with the Dumbarton Bridge, Stanford Research Park, and Caltrain at the Palo Alto station within a short drive. Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Stanford are close, and the wetlands and Bay shoreline sit nearby for open space at the edge of the city.
