Sophisticated three bedroom home on a quiet, tree lined street, walking distance to local amenities and downtown Palo Alto. Bright with natural light this home is tastefully updated and move-in ready. The sunny and beautifully landscaped backyard is perfect for entertaining or working from home on the patio, with ample lawn for play.

The home is located in The Willows neighborhood in Menlo Park. Mckendry Drive lives like a cul-de-sac with little to no cut through traffic. The quiet tree-lined streets are typically filled with neighbors walking or riding bikes to the local park, schools, one of the two markets or the popular Café Zoe, which serves as the neighborhood hub. It is common for neighbors here to coordinate drop-in outdoor gatherings (socially distanced of course), welcoming all who want to join.

Pre-COVID, The Willows Market (on Middlefield Road) hosts a variety of events including Food Truck night and weekly wine and beer tasting events. Café Zoe serves coffee, lunch and ice cream, but also showcases local artists’ work on the walls and hosts live music and other community events. Mardini’s Café, on the corner of Gilbert and Middlefield, is run by a friendly family who welcomes you in the door, is very kid-friendly and is a popular place to walk to with neighbors for dinner.

Neighborhood schools include Laurel School Lower Campus in Atherton (grades K-2), Laurel School Upper Campus (grades 3-5) located in the Willows, Hillview Middle School in downtown Menlo Park, and Menlo-Atherton High School located on Middlefield, only a mile away. (Buyer to verify school boundaries and enrollment).

In The Willows, you benefit from the proximity to downtown Palo Alto, but enjoy the feel of a small town where kids play in front yards and you can sit on your front porch and greet your neighbors as they stroll by on their nightly walks. The Willows has easy access to highway 101 and the Facebook campus.  

This is a special opportunity to own a home in a prime location in the Willows.
