Discover this Midtown gem nestled on a large lot in the quiet, tree-lined Circles neighborhood. The Circles' unique street layout makes it a barely trafficked, yet incredibly convenient, oasis of calm amidst the Valley's hustle and bustle. The open floor plan, great room's floor-to-ceiling windows, and cathedral ceilings create a warm & wonderful, naturally-lit living space. The inside flows gracefully and seamlessly out to the spacious patio and the expansive, professionally-landscaped backyard, speckled with flowering plum trees and a variety of fruit trees. New hardwood floors and carpeting, granite kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances, Carrara marble vanity top, wood-burning fireplace, insulating foam roof, and in-door laundry provide style and comfort. A back gate and a very short walk lead to the superb Palo Alto elementary and middle schools. Indeed, it is but a stone's throw to top-rated (10/10 by test scores) Fairmeadow Elementary and Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School. Bike to Gunn High (also 10/10 in college readiness and one of the best high schools in the U.S.). Walk to Mitchell Park & Library, Cubberley Community Center, grocery stores, Midtown shopping, dining, even ice skating. Close to Stanford, Caltrain, and high tech campuses. Easy access to 101/280.
