Located just off the seating room is where you will find an open floor plan featuring the kitchen, dining area, and living room.

We are close to everything, including anything on Stanford University campus (2.7 miles); close to downtown Palo Alto (4.8 miles away from the home) where you can find great food and great coffee. About a 1 hour (36 miles) drive to San Francisco and 35 minutes (15.5 miles) from San Jose. Perfect location!
Depending on your itinerary while in town, you can either rent a car or many guests rely on Uber and Lyft which are always available within minutes.
While relaxing and enjoying your stay, some details to keep in mind are:
1) Season by season, when the ground shifts the door going from the garage to the backyard may stick or come out of alignment.
2) The heating system is efficient and works very well but just needs to be adjusted at the thermostats to desired temperature. There is one thermostat in the kitchen and one in the master bedroom at the back of the house.
3) The only camera is the Ring doorbell at the front of the house.
4) With the age of the home, there is no AC system. In the warmer Summer months, the ceiling fans and portable room fans manage the temperature and keep the climate comfortable quite nicely.
5) While there is ample patio space in the backyard to relax and unwind, the front yard and backyard landscaping are very minimal so as to require as little water as possible during the past several draught years.
6) The fireplace is for decorative purposes only - NOT FOR USE FOR FIRES.
7) The house is child friendly, but not baby proofed.
8) Areas of the home where guests are not allowed access are:
a) Front Workroom to the right of the fireplace
b) Larger Storage Structure in left rear corner of backyard
c) Smaller Storage Structure in right rear corner of backyard
d) Attic Storage Area
