About This Home
As of October 2023Nested among established oaks and tucked down a private gated driveway, this custom built property masterfully blends artistic woodworking with the elegance of a Menlo Park home. Strategically placed on the oversized lot, the home offers a graceful motor court on the front and an expansive multi-use yard at the back. Inside, natural light pours in from countless skylights and clerestory windows, enhancing the warmth that emanates from this family home. The open plan living brings massive volumes of space in every direction, while a cozy tucked-away den provides an extra retreat for casual lounging. The southern exposure backyard ensures plenty of sunlight for a garden, possibly a pool, or to warm the soul in the privacy of the nearly third acre lot. Just a mile from the bustling downtown Palo Alto means that dinner, shopping and fun is just around the corner. Convenient access to commute routes and various tech companies makes this an ideal location within the Silicon Valley.
