About This Home

As of March 2024

Rare and stunning remodel to an urban/suburban townhome. Dramatic, soaring ceiling in living room, luxe custom light fixtures, wide-plank white oak and Italian tile floors, frameless glass shower enclosures and a master suite soaking tub are just a few of the custom features here. The chef's kitchen has LED lighting, a unique backsplash with concealed electrical outlets, a wall of custom, quarter-sawn oak cabinetry and Thermador stainless steel appliances, including a 6 burner gas range. An island allows seating for 3 and holds a microwave drawer. Artisan-welded steel staircase railings further enhance the open, contemporary space. Miele laundry appliances are included. This excellent location affords proximity to Holbrook-Palmer Park, the vibrant shops and restaurants in downtown Menlo Park, Burgess Park and the library as well as to Atherton, Stanford University, and Meta. CalTrain, and top-ranked schools both public and private are nearby. Low-maintenance landscaping frames a sunny patio. This self-managed community of 6 townhomes has very low HOA fees of only $400 per month.
