Tucked away on a coveted tree-lined lane, 520 Berkeley Avenue is a stunning Hamptons-style estate that artfully blends timeless East Coast elegance with contemporary California living. Built in 2010 and set on a generous 0.52-acre lot in the highly desirable Menlo Oaks neighborhood, this light-filled residence offers nearly 5,600 square feet of refined interiors, resort-quality outdoor spaces, and exceptional flexibility for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining.

The home’s classic shingle facade and welcoming front porch set the tone for the exquisite design found within. A gracious formal entry leads to a private office with custom built-ins, a stylish powder room, and a spectacular great room with beamed ceilings, a sleek gas fireplace, and a charming dining alcove. Natural light pours through oversized windows and French doors, illuminating the home’s rich hardwood floors and custom millwork.

The chef’s kitchen is a standout, featuring white shaker cabinetry, honed black granite countertops, a geometric tile backsplash, high-end stainless steel appliances, a large center island with pendant lighting, and an expansive walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy playroom/den and a charming children’s study lounge—perfectly designed for modern family living. The main level also includes a guest bedroom with full bath, a mudroom with ample storage, and access to a detached guest suite ideal for in-laws, an au pair, or visiting guests.

Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, a dramatic picture window, and a double-sided gas fireplace shared with the spa-like bath, which features Carrara marble, a dual-sink vanity, soaking tub, stall shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. A junior suite with en-suite bath, two vaulted-ceiling bedrooms with whimsical loft spaces, and a shared dual-sink hall bath complete the children’s wing. An expansive rec/media room serves as a perfect teen hangout, with a back spiral staircase leading to the mudroom for easy access.

The spectacular backyard is an entertainer’s dream. Covered patios with overhead heaters invite year-round dining and lounging. The outdoor kitchen and BBQ island make hosting effortless, while mature oaks, vast lawns, a playground, and raised vegetable beds—including a charming chicken coop—complete the picturesque grounds. A wide side lawn offers ample space for a future pool.

Additional highlights include solar power, multiple skylights, recessed lighting, two-car garage, abundant storage options, and access to top-rated Menlo Park schools.
