Venues
A private event venue set inside a beautifully renovated 1906 Dutch Colonial estate in the heart of downtown Redwood City at the center of California's Silicon Valley. This 2,010 square-foot residential property combines historic architectural character, modern interior finishes, and a bamboo-screened backyard with hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor lounge areas. The entire home and grounds are yours alone for every booking, with no shared spaces and no other guests on site. Bookings are hourly and flexible, suiting short business sessions, all-day retreats, and evening celebrations alike.
The Estate
Built in 1906 and on the local historic register, the home features original leaded glass windows, intricate crown moldings, and gleaming hardwood floors, with modern appliances, central heating, and air conditioning. Four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms span two stories. The main floor opens with a welcoming living room, a quaint sitting nook off the front entrance, a midcentury dining table seating six, and a modern chef kitchen flowing out to the back deck. A separate back studio with a queen sleeper sofa and ensuite bathroom can be cordoned off for green-room or breakout use. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary suite with ensuite bath, a guest room with wet bar and private balcony, and a third bedroom configured for two twin beds.
The Backyard Oasis
Behind a private automated driveway gate, the bamboo-screened backyard creates an intimate outdoor environment in the middle of downtown. A paved patio anchors a glass dining table and a Pottery Barn sofa arranged around a fire pit table. A generous turf area suits lawn games and casual seating. Highlights include a hot tub seating eight, two heat lamps, a ping pong table, lounge chairs, and a wood sunbed deck. Carefully curated landscaping and delicate lighting transform the space at dusk, creating a quiet atmosphere that feels worlds away from the surrounding city.
Chef Kitchen and Indoor Flow
The modern chef kitchen is built for everything from quick breakfasts to fully catered events. Full commercial cooking capability, prep counter space, refrigeration, and dishwasher are included. External caterers are welcome and can stage from the kitchen freely. The living room flows into the midcentury dining area and out to the back deck, giving you a natural arc from arrival drinks to seated dinner to evening lounging on the deck or by the fire.
Perfect For These Events
The property regularly hosts corporate offsites, executive retreats, board meetings, salon and speaker series, yoga retreats, nonprofit gatherings, intimate weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversary celebrations, engagement parties, baby showers, and bridal showers. Up to twelve daytime guests are welcome, and overnight sleeping for up to eight can be arranged with the host on request. The property sits in a mixed commercial and residential zone with restaurants and live-music venues as immediate neighbors, so sound restrictions are notably more relaxed than typical residential venues, and gatherings can extend into the late evening with consideration for neighbors.
Amenities Included
Every booking includes full property access, the chef kitchen, WiFi throughout, Apple TV, a portable speaker, dining tables and chairs, the hot tub, fire pit, ping pong, two outdoor heat lamps, and four off-street parking spaces inside the gated driveway. Restrooms across both floors handle larger groups. Charging outlets are available throughout. Natural light pours into every room from morning through late afternoon. Air conditioning, central heating, and a fireplace keep the home comfortable year round.
Location and Walkability
The property sits one block from Broadway and Main Streets in downtown Redwood City, walkable to CalTrain station which connects guests to San Francisco to the north and San Jose to the south. The Fox Theatre, Century 20 movie theater, Club Fox, Whole Foods, Safeway, and many downtown restaurants and cafes are all within a five-minute walk.
