In the heart of central Menlo Park, this spacious custom home, built in 2009, exudes classic and timeless appeal. Spanning three levels of architectural sophistication with meticulous attention to detail, the home welcomes with a front door inset with rain glass, revealing interiors with a transitional style. Richly hued hardwood floors, crown moldings, and numerous French doors and transoms, all with true divided lights, create a warm and inviting ambiance. Coffered ceilings in select rooms, wainscot paneling, and custom window shutters throughout amplify the chic and stylish elegance of the home.
The formal living room features a focal point gas fireplace outlined in ledgestone, while the formal dining room dazzles with a chandelier and tall wainscot. The gourmet kitchen epitomizes culinary sophistication with custom glazed cabinetry topped in granite slab and a contrasting island with counter seating topped with beautiful walnut. High-end appliances by Viking, Thermador, and Sub-Zero cater to the discerning chef, and a separate breakfast area is perfect for casual meals. The family room, fully open to the kitchen, boasts a wall of custom cabinetry with integrated space for media, a gas fireplace, adjacent breakfast nook and French doors opening to the rear grounds. Completing the main level is a bedroom and bath, in addition to a powder room, ideal for guest accommodations or a home office for remote work needs.
The primary suite on the upper level serves as a luxurious sanctuary with its Carrara marble and granite bath, featuring a claw-foot tub and oversized shower. Two additional bedrooms and a bath are also on this level, along with two more bedrooms, one with an en suite bath and one with an adjacent bath, on the lower level. A flexible-use room for office or fitness needs, a large recreation room with a full bar, and a sizeable fully customized and temperature-controlled wine cellar are also found on this level. A lower-level terrace features stairs up to the very private rear grounds, where open and covered patios and a vast level lawn invite quintessential California outdoor living. With its prime central location, this home also provides access to excellent Menlo Park schools and is just one-half mile from downtown shops, restaurants, and Stanford University.
