A stunning floor to ceiling river rock fireplace is the centerpiece for this delightful, updated 1930s cottage. The open floor plan wraps the main level all around this beautiful touch of history, while large windows and two skylights in an open wood ceiling invite generous sunlight in. The living area leads out onto an expansive deck overlooking Los Trancos Creek. The lower level includes two bedrooms, one full bath, and a large laundry room. Both bedrooms have attractive open beam ceilings and open onto a second deck. This enchanting property borders Palo Alto Foothills Open Space Reserve yet is only 5-6 minutes from Alpine Road with its nearby gas station, hardware store, fire station, and Roberts Market. It is located within the highly regarded Portola Valley School District. Whether you are hiking nearby trails or relaxing on your deck enjoying the soothing sounds of the creek, this property promises to make you feel at home.
