In the heart of central Menlo Park, this home is perfectly located on a premier cul-de-sac street. The style is classic traditional with a logical and flowing floor plan, combined with numerous updates throughout. The ambiance is bright and light with freshly painted interiors and newly refinished hardwood floors, and solar provides the electricity along with two Tesla Powerwalls for backup. There are also numerous solar-powered skylights for added fresh air and ventilation.

Introducing the home is a traditional foyer with subway-set tiled flooring. Hardwood floors begin in the large living and dining room combination accented with California window shutters, banks of display shelves, and a fireplace set beneath media wiring. The kitchen is beautifully updated with maple cabinetry topped in granite slab with contrasting herringbone patterned tiled backsplashes. A built-in desk center adds convenience, and a peninsula counter connects the room to the inviting family room with elevated fireplace and tall bay window. A French door opens to the rear gardens, originally designed by renowned architect Thomas Church.

This spacious one-story home has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. The primary suite opens to a deck in the rear yard and has a wall of organized closets plus an en suite bath with a large shower. There are three additional bedrooms, each with a drum ceiling light, two with carpet, and one customized for a home office complete with home run wiring in the closet for gigabit fiber optic connections. Serving the bedrooms is a tiled bath with dual-sink vanity and tub with overhead shower. Adding to the accommodations is a flexible-use bonus space of approximately 247 square feet attached to the garage – a very large fully finished room ideal for a remote work office and served by a bonus half-bath in the detached 2-car garage.

This home has access to excellent Menlo Park schools, including Hillview Middle School just a few blocks away, plus it is just one mile from shops and restaurants downtown as well as restaurants and cafes on the Alameda.
