Set back from the street in complete privacy beyond a gated driveway, this impressive home presents a Tuscan ambiance in the sought-after Menlo Oaks neighborhood. Presiding over beautiful grounds of just over one-half acre with a majestic heritage oak, the home's architecture is classic European with tiled roof, arched doorways, and a richly hued palette accented with wrought iron railings and copper gutters. A warm and inviting atmosphere begins at the front door, which opens to interiors finished with timeless beauty, plastered walls with a subtle faux finish, and distressed hickory or travertine floors. Architectural vaulted ceilings are signatures of many rooms, each with exposed beams and perfectly selected lighting. Outside, the grounds are enchanting and private, ideal for fresh-air living, entertaining, and gardening. This tucked-away location in Menlo Oaks also has access to excellent Menlo Park Schools and is convenient to both downtown Menlo Park and Downtown Palo Alto.
