Set on nearly 1/3 acre, this bright and welcoming home blends timeless comfort with an exceptional location. A brick pathway winds through beautifully landscaped grounds to a thoughtfully designed interior filled with natural light, high ceilings, and gleaming hardwood floors. Spacious formal living and dining rooms provide elegant venues for entertaining, while two fireplaces, a family room, and kitchen with top appliances create inviting spaces for everyday living. Three bedrooms include a serene primary suite with direct access to the grounds, as well as a privately situated guest suite that occupies the entire upper level. The backyard is designed for exceptional outdoor enjoyment, featuring a charming fountain, patio and deck areas, and lush landscaping that creates a peaceful, private retreat. All of this is just minutes from parks, downtown Menlo Park and Palo Alto, Stanford, commute routes, and acclaimed schools including Menlo-Atherton High (buyer to verify eligibility).
