Out of a storybook, this enchanting Menlo Park cottage belongs in the pages of a fairytale. Framed by a classic white picket fence, hydrangeas & a magnificent oak, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. Floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, & an entire wall of French windows blur the line between indoors & out, filling every room with sunshine & garden views. Refinished hardwood floors, reclaimed timber mantle, & two inviting fireplaces create spaces designed for slow mornings, cozy evenings, & everything in between. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring marble countertops, unlacquered brass fixtures, & charming garden window. A dining area complements the home's thoughtful layout, while separate living & family rooms provide inviting spaces. Set on an expansive 7,000+ sq ft lot, the backyard is a private garden escape. Tucked away is a detached office with a hidden surprise below: a secret wine cellar ready for your favorite vintages. Additional highlights: 2 beds, 2 full baths, dedicated laundry room, oversized driveway, updated HVAC & sewer lateral, plentiful storage including a large shed, and a quiet not-through street location. Equal parts charming & sophisticated, this North Fair Oaks home makes every day feel a little more magical.
