The picture of storybook charm on a quiet, tree-lined circle, this gracious 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bath residence is masterfully designed to achieve the perfect synthesis of magnificent aesthetics and family-friendly livability.

An enchanting brick walkway, romantic arbor and neatly manicured hedges offer a warm welcome to the home.  Just inside the traditional foyer, discover the appealing design elements that run throughout – light oak hardwood floors, classic moldings, dramatic lighting, high ceilings and traditional plantation shutters.  The formal living room, with its picturesque bay window and gas fireplace, lies to the immediate left.  Formal festivities move effortlessly into the adjacent dining room, a sophisticated gathering space distinguished by a striking contemporary chandelier.

A practical mudroom, powder room and guest suite are subtly tucked away en route to a spectacular kitchen/great room combination that spans the rear of the home.  The ideal environment for casual gatherings and social meal preparation, the light and airy gourmet kitchen boasts top quality appliances, plentiful cabinetry, granite counters and a large center island.  The adjoining family room is centered upon an impressive gas fireplace bordered by built-in shelving.  Stunning rear yard views and French door access to the pool, patio and gardens develop an amazing environment for indoor/outdoor entertaining.

Up the dramatic winding staircase, discover the private bedroom quarters. Comprised of a lavish master suite, two generously proportioned bedrooms, a practical laundry room and conveniently positioned hall bath, the upper level offers a peaceful retreat away from the main living areas.

Located in the highly acclaimed Menlo Park School District, just moments from Seminary Oaks and Burgess Parks, downtown Palo Alto, the Facebook campus and commuter routes, this desirable residence offers the best of a vibrant Mid-Peninsula lifestyle.
