Classic mid-century character and a thoughtful expansion come together in this beautifully updated solar-powered home in Allied Arts. Original details, including clinker brick accents and a signature hexagonal window, reflect the homes architectural heritage, while the significant expansion introduces modern livability with an open great room the centerpiece of the home with kitchen and family room together beneath a dramatic vaulted ceiling. Clerestory windows and custom-paned French doors with full-width sidelights on two sides fill the space with natural light and open the interiors to enchanting patios for outdoor living. Bamboo floors and sleek maple cabinetry add a modern counterpoint to the homes classic design, which includes adjoining formal living and dining rooms. Three bedrooms are arranged on one convenient level, including a primary suite with adjoining office and outside entrance. Wraparound outdoor spaces on three sides of the corner lot create multiple options for dining, lounging, entertaining, and relaxing in a large spa beneath mature trees in remarkable privacy from the street. All of this is just blocks from parks, a bike and pedestrian bridge to Stanford Shopping Center, and excellent Menlo Park schools. Welcome Home!
