Extensively and thoughtfully renovated in 2021 by the current owner as their principal residence, this turnkey home is tucked away in the heart of sought-after Allied Arts. Brick walkways, a flowering window box, and classic dormer windows create a welcoming entrance at the end of a long driveway bordered by mature trees. Once inside, designer finishes and ample natural light are immediately apparent. Refinished hardwood floors, brushed gold hardware, and perfectly selected lighting and surfaces add designer panache at every turn.

The living room makes a dramatic first impression with its two-story ceiling and walls of glass that harmoniously blend indoor and outdoor living. A gas fireplace anchors the center of the room and French doors open to the rear grounds. The gourmet kitchen is an epicurean dream and perfectly arranged for social meal preparation with a stainless Bertazzoni induction range, microwave, Bosch dishwasher, built-in Bosch refrigerator/freezer, pantry storage and farmhouse apron sink. Calacatta Oro Faccia porcelain counters with marble tile backsplash enhance the crisp, white palette, which is a signature of the overall aesthetic throughout the home.

Just beyond the kitchen, a large dining area, with chic chandelier lighting, extends to an inviting family room with a gas fireplace, custom built-in cabinetry and French doors to the rear entertaining terrace. Fine hardwood floors unify the entire main level, which includes the primary suite conveniently located on the first floor. An entire wall of customized closets provides for wardrobe storage, and the en suite primary bath is a showcase of modern elegance with honed Carrara marble floors, walls, and surrounding the curbless shower with body sprays.

At the upstairs landing, banquette seating beneath a dormer window is an enchanting space for reading or office work. Hardwood flooring continues into two spacious bedrooms, each with crown molding and recessed lighting. The remodeled jack-and-jill bath adds a splash of color with geometric tile on the floor and replicated in white on the walls of the shower-over-tub surround. Adding the finishing touches to this great home are an indoor laundry room with LG washer and dryer, a powder bath for guests, a finished garage with epoxy flooring, and a very private rear yard with patio and lawn – ideal for play, entertaining or al fresco dining. 

Extensive, recent updates include a new roof, refinished hardwood floors, recessed LED lighting, completely renovated kitchen and baths and an electric car charger. This smart-home enabled residence includes the latest technology including Nest, Ring and wi-fi enabled LED lighting.

This turnkey home benefits from top Menlo Park schools and is just a short walk to both Nealon and Lyle parks, downtown Menlo Park, Stanford Shopping Center and University Avenue in Palo Alto.
