The large primary suite has a custom designed walk-in closet and an ensuite, updated bathroom with a bonus space which can be used for either more closet space or for a workstation. The seller has recently installed a split system heating/AC unit for area control and year-round energy efficiency and comfort. At the end of a quiet street, this is a peaceful location, close to all that downtown Menlo Park has to offer. Near Stanford and equidistant to SFO and San Jose airports and major tech companies. A great choice for a starter home, a downsizer or busy executive who wants a low maintenance lifestyle and all the amenities of a charming downtown location.
