4BR home w/ hot tub near Silicon Valley

Tucked into a quiet corner of Redwood City, this Dutch Colonial home carries the kind of character you can feel the moment you walk through the door - original woodwork, a cozy sitting nook, and rooms that breathe a little differently than the usual rental. Whether you're here for a Silicon Valley work trip, a family gathering, or simply a Bay Area escape, the space is built to hold it all comfortably.   Living space The main living area is intentionally kept free of a TV, giving you and your group space to actually decompress together - conversation, board games, or just the quiet that's hard to find elsewhere. An elegant mid-century dining area anchors the home's social heart, flowing naturally into a fully equipped kitchen with a stainless steel gas stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, hot water kettle, wine glasses, and all the cooking basics you'd need for a proper meal in.   Sleeping arrangements Four bedrooms sleep up to 8 guests across a thoughtful mix of configurations. Upstairs, a queen suite comes with its own en suite bathroom, while a full-size bedroom opens onto a private balcony with garden views. A third upstairs room with a twin trundle is well-suited for families or younger guests, and a beautifully appointed hallway bathroom serves both rooms. On the main floor, a studio with a sofa bed, TV, and private entrance provides added separation - ideal for guests who want their own rhythm or a quieter workspace of their own.   Outdoor space Step outside and the bamboo-lined backyard becomes its own world. Fully fenced for privacy, it includes a private hot tub, an outdoor dining area, a fire pit, and comfortable patio furniture - everything you need to wind down after a day out in the Bay Area. A private balcony off the upstairs bedroom adds one more spot to catch some air and garden views.   Kitchen & dining The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for real cooking - refrigerator, freezer, gas stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and a solid collection of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and basic pantry staples. Coffee is provided, and the dining table gives everyone a proper place to sit down together.   Comfort & practicalities The home is set up with both comfort and function in mind. Air conditioning and central heating keep things regulated year-round. An in-unit washer and dryer, iron, drying rack, and clothing storage take care of longer stays. Strong WiFi and a dedicated workspace in a private room make remote work straightforward. For families, a crib and Pack 'n Play are always on-site. Guests who enjoy a friendly match will find a ping pong table ready to go.   Parking & access Gated parking accommodates 1-2 cars on the premises, with additional space available in the driveway or on the street. Self check-in is handled via keypad - no coordination required on arrival.   Location Redwood City puts you close to some of the Peninsula's best dining and entertainment, with easy reach to Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and the broader Silicon Valley corridor. Whether you're here for a short visit or an extended stay, the location makes it easy to move through the Bay Area without losing much time in transit.   Please note: This property does not allow pets.
