About This Home
As of March 2020A fresh twist on the timeless Craftsman style, this single-family home lies on a tree-lined block in the heart of Menlo Park. Spanning 1,819-square feet, the 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath stunner is punctuated by stately columns and surrounded by lush landscaping. Beyond a sunny front patio lies a voluminous great room lined in espresso hardwoods and appointed with classic crown molding. A cozy fireplace is the focal point of a sizable living room that bleeds into a modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs, a duo of bedrooms are serviced by a Jack-and-Jill bath while an expansive master suite boasts a master bath with soaking tub and stall shower. The third floor belies a flexible space that can be easily converted into a home office or rec room. Minutes to downtown Palo Altos coffee shops, eateries, and art galleries, the home lies within close proximity to city-bound commuter thoroughfares. This was the original builder model, so over 150k in grades.
