This classic ranch home exudes timeless appeal combined with a remodel and expansion in the desirable Flood Park neighborhood, putting both downtowns Palo Alto and Menlo Park within easy reach. Hardwood floors extend throughout beginning with original parquet in the living room. A tremendous kitchen and family room combination is unveiled at the rear of the home with a cathedral ceiling, tremendous natural light, and a spacious chef’s kitchen with peninsula counter seating. A separate wing accommodates the home’s 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, including the expanded primary suite with rear yard access. The inviting extra-deep rear yard boasts bee-friendly gardens, a vegetable bed, citrus trees, and plenty of space for entertaining and play. A bonus studio behind the detached garage offers added space for today’s home office needs, fitness, or hobbies. Just down the street, Flood Park offers recreation and picnics, and minutes away is Stanford Shopping Center and downtown Palo Alto, a convenient bike bridge to Meta headquarters, and excellent Menlo Park schools.
