Tucked away beyond a rare, extra-deep front yard in the heart of Allied Arts, this enchanting circa 1916 home showcases of-the-era character updated for modern living. A Dutch door entrance sets the tone for the charm within, where new wood style floors in a striking chevron pattern extend throughout the main level. Original glass windows and French doors with true divided lights reflect the home’s early 20th-century heritage, while thoughtful updates enhance everyday comfort. Move-in ready with fresh style and functionality, the home also presents an exciting opportunity to further transform and customize.
A spacious living room and formal dining room offer welcoming spaces for entertaining. The living room centers around a classic fireplace and features tall board and batten wainscot with integrated French doors to the side yard. The formal dining room is highlighted by a wall of custom cabinetry surrounding one of two expansive windows. The kitchen is bright and efficient, with an electric range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, and blackboard-painted countertops for added creativity. Extending off the kitchen is a family room with sliding glass doors to the rear yard.
A main-level bedroom offers flexible use as a home office. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms with Douglas fir or hardwood floors, including one that opens to a front balcony through French doors. Two updated baths serve this level – one newly expanded with vaulted skylights, a charming clawfoot tub with overhead shower, new vanity, extensive built-ins, and balcony access. The second, newly added, includes a shower with a curved glass enclosure.
A finished basement adds valuable space for recreation and play, while the expansive rear yard is designed for outdoor living with a brick patio, fire pit, gas line for a barbecue, a large deck, and a dedicated play area. Several fruit trees, including organic orange and pomegranate, enhance the garden’s charm.
Additional highlights include a detached 2-car garage with a walk-up loft already plumbed, a laundry room with washer and dryer, EV charging on the driveway, a half-bath, and a whole-home ventilation fan. Spanning approximately one-quarter acre, this Allied Arts gem combines historic charm, modern comfort, and future potential – all within close proximity to top-rated Menlo Park schools.
