Remodeled Menlo Park family compound

Rarely does a Menlo Park property offer the flexibility of living quarters combined with a whole-home renovation as found at this tucked-away gem in sought-after Menlo Oaks. Set back from the street on more than one-half acre, the property is introduced by two electronic gated entrances, one opening to a circular driveway preceding the main home and one to the two accessory units at the rear. Extensive just completed renovations include new paint, flooring, lighting, bathrooms, and appliances, enhancing the property's modern appeal.

The spacious main home spans one convenient level with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths while the two accessory structures present exceptional opportunities for extended family living quarters, rental income, and/or remote office needs. Tying it all together are beautifully landscaped grounds, adorned with clusters of redwoods and oaks for privacy along with sun swept expansive patios for outdoor living.

Inside the main home, the bright and airy ambiance is highlighted by vaulted ceilings in some rooms, an all-white palette, perfectly hued wood floors, and abundant recessed lighting. The public rooms are versatile with options catering to both formal and casual living and dining. The home's four bedrooms are designed for privacy, with one wing housing the primary suite plus an additional bedroom and bath, and a separate wing, off the kitchen and family room, comprising two more bedrooms and a bath. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with granite countertops, breakfast bar seating, and a suite of new stainless-steel appliances.

A carriage house apartment is located above the detached garage with a two-level floor plan that includes the bathroom on the main level and a studio design upstairs with full kitchen and ample space for living/sleeping. The guest house spans one level with two spacious rooms and a bath. Each is bright and light, freshly updated, and with multiple private access points.

Completing this exceptional property is its prime location, providing easy access to both downtown Menlo Park and Palo Alto, excellent Menlo Park schools, and Stanford University.
