Nestled behind lush hedges, this inviting Carmel-style home offers both exceptional privacy and the potential for strong rental income. Whether savoring a morning coffee or an evening glass of Caymus cabernet, the spacious back patio provides multiple seating areas to unwind and enjoy life. Open the French doors from the living and dining rooms for seamless indoor/outdoor living, or retreat to the cozy family room for a quiet escape. The main house features 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, creating generous private living space. Across the breezeway, a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage (buyer to verify permit status) is a rare find. With its own kitchen and separate laundry, it offers complete independence and privacy. Just a few blocks away, San Mateo Drive and the bike bridge provide quick access to Stanford. Beyond that, Santa Cruz Avenue, El Camino Real, and the Stanford Shopping Center put nearly every amenity within easy reach.
