This magnificent home presents East Coast-inspired 5-star living just one block from downtown shops and restaurants. The property showcases exceptional craftsmanship. Inside, traditional style elegantly unifies the main home, which is complemented by separate guest quarters, a detached fitness center, and a detached music studio, all on nearly three-quarters of an acre of park-like grounds. Arranged over two levels, the spacious main residence with 5 bedrooms works equally well for lavish entertaining and everyday living. Tying it all together are gorgeous grounds with a pool, entertainment center, barbecue, fireplace, and even a custom playhouse and a convenient wet bar just off the kitchen. Remarkable in its beauty, attention to detail, and incredible livability, this home is located in one of the most sought-after towns midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley with access to excellent Menlo Park schools. This is the ultimate family or executive retreat.
