About This Home
As of January 2024This is Craftsman luxury in premier Vintage Oaks on almost one-third acre with a pool in a very private setting. The 2-story floorplan has a rare main-level primary suite that opens to the rear grounds. Three additional bedrooms, all with built-in cabinetry and desk and one with en suite bath, are located upstairs. The design is classic and timeless with light maple floors, crown moldings, and California shutters on most windows. A formal living room with fireplace and formal dining room are perfect for entertaining. Everyday living unfolds in the tremendous kitchen and family room combination with crisp white cabinetry, a second fireplace, and lots of built-ins. French doors open to the rear grounds, which are ever so inviting with a pool and inset spa surrounded in brick, built-in barbecue, rock waterfall, an exquisite olive tree and Japanese maples. This home is close to downtown Menlo Park as well as Palo Alto and Stanford University and has access to excellent Menlo Park schools.
