327 Center St, Redwood City, CA 94061

Description

327 Center Street has been part of Redwood Oaks, one of Redwood City’s established neighborhoods, since the days when front porches were built for sitting. The covered porch sets the tone, and inside, the home keeps its character: original wood floors that have aged into a warm, lived-in patina, a brick fireplace anchoring the living room, and large windows throughout that keep the rooms bright from morning through late afternoon. Two bedrooms and a full bath are tucked off the main living spaces, and the breakfast nook looks out over the backyard, a pleasant spot for coffee with the garden in view. An attached garage and private driveway round out the house, and the manicured front lawn and bushes give it real curb presence from the street. The 6,000-square-foot lot is where this property truly distinguishes itself. The house sits toward the front, leaving an expansive backyard with room for everything a generous outdoor space invites: a patio for dining under the trees, mature lemon and orange trees that produce year after year, and an established vegetable garden ready for next season’s planting. A detached shed handles tools and storage. Beyond what is already here, the lot leaves plenty of open ground for a larger patio, a play area, serious landscaping, an addition to the home, or an ADU with its own private corner of the yard. Few lots in this part of Redwood City offer this much room to grow. The location puts the best of the mid-Peninsula within easy reach. Downtown Redwood City is about a mile away, with its restaurants along Broadway, the Fox Theatre, the Saturday farmers’ market, and summer concerts on Courthouse Square. The Caltrain station downtown connects to San Francisco and San Jose in roughly 40 minutes each way, and Woodside Road leads quickly to both Highway 101 and Interstate 280. Red Morton Park, with its pool, playgrounds, sports fields, and community center, is a short drive or bike ride, and smaller neighborhood parks sit just blocks away. Everyday shopping at Woodside Plaza and Whole Foods is minutes from the door. Stanford, Palo Alto, and Menlo Park are a few miles south, and the broader Bay Area job market, from Peninsula biotech and tech campuses to San Francisco and San Jose, is a straightforward commute. Homes with this much yard do not stay on the market long at this price point. Walk the yard, stand on the porch, and picture what comes next.
