Elementary School: Las Lomitas Elementary School (10/10). High School: Henry M. Gunn High School (9/10).
The property is situated in a highly desirable Menlo Park neighborhood, offering walking distance to downtown and access to top-tier schools including Las Lomitas Elementary and Hillview Middle.
At a list price of $5.295M for 2,750 square feet, the property commands a significant premium that may be a deterrent for buyers looking for more interior living space at this price point.
Despite the high-end cosmetic updates, the original 1950 construction may present underlying infrastructure limitations or maintenance requirements typical of older mid-century homes.
This unexpected retreat on more than one-quarter acre is thoughtfully screened from the street with lush landscaping and a gated driveway creating a private sanctuary tucked away from the surroundings. Designer sophistication is reflected throughout with espresso-hued hardwood floors, custom wall coverings, lacquered finishes, solid marble surfaces, and an exceptional level of cabinetry and detailing. Formal and casual living spaces are equally compelling, anchored by a beautifully appointed kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Glass doors create a strong connection to the rear grounds where enchanting gardens, brick pathways, fountains, fire pit terrace, and fruit trees create a true backyard sanctuary. Completing the appeal is a customized detached garage with workshop and temperature control offering exceptional flexibility for hobbies, a fitness studio, or office, plus walking distance to downtown and access to excellent Menlo Park schools.
