Situated in the heart of Allied Arts, just steps from the charming Allied Arts Guild, this elegant 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers approximately 2,400 square feet of living space (plus a Guest House) on an expansive 7,500-square-foot lot. The first floor boasts a living room centered around a gas fireplace clad in dramatic floor-to-ceilling marble, and a luxuriously renovated kitchen. A separate family room flows seamlessly to an oversized tiled patio, ideal for entertaining. Upstairs, three bedrooms include the primary suite, featuring a generous walk-in closet and spa-like bath with an oversized soaking tub. A laundry area and ample storage space located in the basement. Tucked discreetly into the back corner of the property, a private Guest House with its own red-brick entrance offers a serene retreat for guests or a valuable rental opportunity. The garden is a lush oasis, with Mayten trees, Cordyline, espaliered citrus, cherimoya, fig, avocado, lemon and apple trees, beside a tranquil fountain. All this, just minutes from downtown Palo Alto and Menlo Park, Stanford, and top-rated schools. Blending modern design with timeless character in one of Menlo Parks most coveted neighborhoods, this home is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
