Stunning New Home Never Intended As a Rental: Just Bring Your Toothbrush!

You won't want to leave this GORGEOUS,NEW, MODERN FULLY FURNISHED, 2bd/1ba home that was NEVER INTENDED TO BE A RENTAL but a new home for our parents. Set in a serene, farm-/orchard-like setting with our free-range chickens and 30+ organic fruit trees, it boasts 12’ vaulted ceilings, gorgeous driftwood floors reminiscent of a walk at the beach, a chef's kitchen that extends to a beautiful patio for quintessential California indoor/outdoor living. The oversized windows bring in oodles of natural sunlight but the sound-proof insulation and super quiet mini-split HVAC keeps you so comfortable whether it’s a cool winter night or hot summer day. But the weather in Redwood City is considered “Best by Government Test” so get ready to be spoiled.

SPACIOUS BEDROOMS
The north-facing bdrm is furnished with a brand new, high-profile storage bed and Novafoam queen-sized mattress, crisp linens, and beautiful towel rack. The east-facing bdrm boasts a brand new low-profile storage bed (mattress pending). Each bedroom boasts ample closet storage with LED light and magnificent 8' sliding doors to a paved, extra-large patio (full disclosure: often visited by our pretty chickens).

GORGEOUS, RELAXING BATHROOM
Beautiful, large shower-only bathroom with a very cool, conversation-starting bidet with remote control, beautiful copper farm-themed sink and waterfall faucet along with oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. There is a lovely foldable teak shower bench for physical assistance (or shaving your legs!). You'll be hard-pressed to get up from this comfortable (and clean) position!

CHEF'S GOURMET KITCHEN
There is oodles of natural sunlight in our new home and you can gaze out any of the large windows to admire the fruit trees and enjoy the company of our beautiful, free-range chickens. Our enviable chef's dream kitchen boasts brand new appliances and phenomenal fixtures: 6-burner gas stove, Wifi-enabled 4-door refrigerator, dishwasher with timer, microwave, and toaster oven. The exquisite farmhouse copper kitchen sink, bronze faucet with pull-out handle, garbage disposal surrounded by the cool intergalactic black and white granite countertops with a piercing, geometric backsplash.

The truffle-colored solid wood cabinets have pull-out drawers and lazy Susans, as well as under-cabinet lights for late-night snacking without having to turn on all the lights. Finally, the expansive sliding patio doors lead you out to the large beautifully paved patio, perfect for BBQs and small gatherings. Enjoy meals at the large kitchen island or the dining table, looking out to the peach/nectarine/pomegranate/lemon trees. As foodies and organic gardeners, we have virtually every kitchen gadget you could need so don’t buy one—just ask. Chances are, we have it.

-Light dimmers throughout

PARKING: Street parking just two steps away from the keypad-enabled gate.

SOME RULES (Sorry, NO exceptions, additional cleaning fee may be charged but this is generally for our MD folks who stay longer term)
1) Absolutely NO wearing shoes inside the house,
2) Absolutely NO wearing your white coat or scrubs that you wore in the hospital/clinic which harbor all kinds of MDR-organisms like MRSA, C dif., enterococcus, etc. (This may seem weird but we often host MDs and we cross post on CL)
3) Absolutely NO smoking of any kind (tobacco, vaping, marijuana (even MMJ)), illicit substances, or burning candles anywhere inside the house or on the premises.


YOUR FUR BABY IS WELCOME HERE (for pups only, <20lb--sorry no cats (allergies))
-PET RENT (see fee)
-Pls let us know your fur baby’s age, weight, and how s/he is potty trained
-Weight limit to 20lb (exception may be made--please reach out and tell us. We love our babies and take them with us everywhere, or we just don't go (which means we do a lot of staycations).
-Cannot be left alone (or in a crate) for more than 2 hours w/o prior arrangements (we have fur babies and may be able to help).
Exceptions to any of these criteria on an individual basis.

NEIGHBORHOOD

Great walking score, hospital-centric (for our fellow medicine folks), friendly, clean, safe neighborhood. Off-leash dog park at Stulsaft is just one mile away. Lots of dining, shopping, and sightseeing within walking distance! If you want to hop in your car, you'll be just two miles from the 101 and 280 highways to get to the coast/beach at Half Moon Bay, south to Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose, Monterey Bay. Or go north to San Francisco, Napa Valley.

Very Nice Redwood City Guest House
The host is super nice and immediately responsive. The kitchen is great for cooking and nicely equipped. The kitchen-den area is great for gathering, which we did with our adult children. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean. The Internet was better than I've ever had in a rental (obviously fiber). The street parking was basically wide open all the time so no problem.

Perfect little House
We loved staying at the home in Redwood City while we put our home on the market. Onnee and Brian are great hosts and the space was perfect for us. Would highly recommend if you are visiting the Bay Area or need a temporary living space.
