1159 CARLTON AVENUE, MENLO PARK
2 bed / 1 bath / 960 square feet

Silicon Valley is notorious for extremely high real estate prices.  However, pockets of affordability absolutely still exist if you know where to look.  Take the section of Menlo Park that lies east of the 101, affectionately known by its residents as Belle Haven.  Prices in this area are extremely affordable, and with the Facebook headquarters moving to the area there is much speculation that these homes will see an increase in value.

I just took a look at this property today and instantly fell in love with its charm.  It is simple and light and has fantastic curb appeal for the neighborhood.  It's a small property but has been meticulously well kept, with an up to date kitchen and bathroom and nice hardwood floors.  A fantastic feature is the loft (see above).  This is a large space with adequate height that could work for anything from an office to a family room to another bedroom.

This would also be a really interesting property to purchase for rental income.  It shows incredibly well and would surely attract tenants.

Listed by RE/MAX for $359,000
