Property Details

Just-completed updates throughout have transformed this home into a bright and welcoming residence in the desirable Charleston Gardens neighborhood. Located on a wide, tree-lined street, the home presents classic traditional curb appeal framed by mature trees and lush gardens. Inside, the two-story floor plan features fresh interior paint, new high-end luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, and new lighting. Move-in ready today, the home also offers the opportunity to further customize into a personal dream vision. 

The spacious living room features a vaulted ceiling that rises to a wraparound upstairs loft overlook, ideal for a home office or playroom. Fireplaces enhance both the living room and formal dining room, adding character and warmth. The eat-in kitchen adjoins an inviting family room with direct access to the rear yard. Three bedrooms and a bath complete the main level, while two additional bedrooms upstairs each open to a covered deck and are served by a second bath. 

Outdoors, a newly refreshed rear lawn and expansive patio provide space for play and entertaining in a very private setting. Mitchell and Cubberley parks and community centers are nearby, with shopping and dining in both Palo Alto and Los Altos just minutes away. Tech centers are also close at hand, making this an ideal location for Silicon Valley living.

Offered at $3,688,000
