About This Home

As of July 2021

With a sought-after west Menlo Park location on almost one-quarter acre, this home is ready to be enjoyed today, or transform into your own personal vision for the future. The classic ranch home and large guest house are freshly updated with new paint and new carpet along with of-the-era tile floors, bathrooms, and countertops. The living room with fireplace is bright and light, a formal dining room opens to the grounds, and the kitchen has plenty of room for casual dining or everyday living. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a separate wing, including the primary suite, plus a large two-room guest house with kitchenette and bathroom. A pool and spa and low-maintenance grounds add to the appeal, all at a premier location minutes to downtown shopping and dining, Stanford University, and top-rated Menlo Park schools.
