About 430 Central Avenue
Welcome Home
430 Central Avenue is a whimsical, much loved home that has been a gathering place for friends, family, local artists, and the neighborhood for years. Artistic touches lend character to a flexible floor plan that works well for spending time with family or friends, or for creating the next great disruptor in your private retreat. Curl up in front of the fireplace with a book. Perch on the Juliette balcony overlooking the garden - laptop optional. Throw the party in the family room that opens onto the enormous deck. Or take your latte outside and sit under the leafy oak in your private enclave.
With 2200 square feet, you have plenty of room for today. Or, a large lot, including a detached garage with storage, gives you plenty of room to grow. Expand the upstairs or transform the garage into a garden cottage without losing your off-street parking. Incorporate the breakfast nook or the dining room into the kitchen and combine classic charm with modern design. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
With the Willows shops a block away, everything you’re looking for is right here, just waiting for you.

Location Details
Your 3 minute walk to the shops might take you a little while. And that quick latte stop at Café Zoe? It might not be so quick. The Willows is truly a neighborhood, where neighbors look out for each other and say hello when they meet. The shops on Menalto provide a meeting place for the community as well as a convenient spot to pick up milk, take a dance class, pick up the cleaning, or take the kids to the pediatrician. Wait – you have 4 legs, not 2? Yes, there’s something for you as well. Willow Oaks Park is ball chasing heaven (including humans, who chase their balls on the tennis courts.)
Highly regarded public and private schools, a 20 minute walk to downtown Palo Alto, a 10 minute drive to downtown Menlo Park, and easy access to world renowned tech companies, the freeway, and CalTrain round out the Willows appeal. Just add an extra 5 minutes to your schedule so you can catch up with a neighbor on the way.
