This exceptional property – on one of Menlo Park’s most sought-after streets and benefiting from a corner lot and cul-de-sac – is designer perfection inside and out. Recently updated, the home integrates fine hewn floors with exquisite millwork that includes wainscot paneling and picture frame moldings throughout the main level. The result is ultimately chic and sophisticated complemented by perfectly selected lighting, rich accent colors, and plantation shutters.
Spanning three levels, there is ample room for today’s work-from-home needs and possible remote learning, along with ample space for recreation and play indoors and out. Luxurious features are plentiful throughout combined with 5 bedrooms, each with en suite bath, a playroom or fitness center, large recreation/media room, plus 2 half-baths. Bedroom suites on the main and lower level offer options for office, guest, or au pair needs, while the upstairs primary suite is the ideal retreat complete with sitting area, steam shower, and outdoor spa.
The tremendous kitchen and family room combination is certain to be the home’s central gathering place and will delight the most demanding chef with its Italian Viking Tuscany range, Sub-Zero glass door refrigerator, Calacatta marble counters, and even a butcher-block for prep work. Topping it all off is a temperature-controlled wine cellar downstairs customized for hundreds of your favorite vintages.
Designed for indoor/outdoor living, the private and oversized rear yard is equally impressive with pool, vast terrace with barbecue center, 4-hole putting green, and a custom playground with foam-padded synthetic lawn. All of this, plus a superb location just minutes to excellent schools, Sand Hill Road venture capital centers, Stanford University, and commuter routes to all of Silicon Valley – truly a wonderful place to call home!
