About This Home

As of December 2022

Enjoying a sought-after address in central Menlo Park and bordering the San Francisquito Creek, this classic ranch home offers updated interiors on nearly one-half acre with opportunity for expansion. Traditional, timeless appeal extends throughout with hardwood floors, fine selections of marble and limestone, and bright expansive windows and glass doors. Formal venues invite entertaining while the updated kitchen connects with the family room for everyday living complete with full bar and access to the rear grounds. There are 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, highlighted by a lovely primary suite with remodeled bath finished entirely in Carrara marble. Topping it all off is the wonderfully private rear yard with numerous vegetable beds for a farm-to-table lifestyle, built-in barbecue center and fire pit for evening enjoyment. With access to excellent Menlo Park schools, plus proximity to Stanford University as well as shops and restaurants, this is indeed a great place to call home.
