Classic charm meets thoughtful updates in this inviting Willows residence, set in one of the Peninsula’s most sought-after neighborhoods near Meta, downtown Palo Alto and Menlo Park, and Stanford University. Designed for comfortable one-story living, the home balances timeless character with modern ease.

Refreshed front landscaping and a covered flagstone porch create a welcoming first impression before opening to interiors with freshly painted finishes, hardwood floors, and a light, neutral palette throughout. The living and dining room spans the front of the home and connects seamlessly to the kitchen, highlighted by a gas-log fireplace and a front bay window with classic shutters that frame views of the neighborhood.

The remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring white cabinetry, granite slab counters, and stainless-steel appliances, along with an elevated breakfast bar and an adjoining casual dining area. Thoughtfully integrated laundry and direct access to the rear yard add everyday convenience.

Three bedrooms include two with outdoor access, while the one-and-a-half baths have been updated with a clean, modern aesthetic. Outside, a private fenced rear yard offers space for entertaining, play, and gardening, complemented by a detached finished one-car garage, an additional defined parking space, and a storage shed.

With central air conditioning throughout and access to excellent Menlo Park schools, this special home offers classic appeal, modern comfort, and a location that’s hard to match.
