More Insights
Built in 1953 (72 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1953, this property has clearly undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, likely within the last 5 years. The kitchen features high-end Thermador appliances, a modern two-tone cabinet design, white subway tile backsplash, and a pot filler, indicating a brand-new, chef-grade space. Bathrooms appear beautifully designed and fully updated with contemporary fixtures and finishes. Throughout the home, there are new light hardwood floors, modern light fixtures (recessed lighting and stylish chandeliers), and central heating and air conditioning, all suggesting a complete overhaul. The exterior and backyard with a sparkling pool and outdoor kitchen also show meticulous upkeep and recent upgrades. All components appear virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

Cons
Property Age: Built in 1953, the property's age might suggest potential for older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as updated, which could lead to future maintenance considerations.
High Price Per Square Foot: With 2012 sqft for a list price of $3.695M, the price per square foot is substantial, potentially limiting the buyer pool looking for more expansive living space at this price point.
Moderate Lot Size: A 7120 sqft lot, while functional, might be considered modest for a luxury home in Menlo Park, potentially impacting privacy or future expansion possibilities compared to larger estates in the area.
