This stunning home has been transformed and expanded with designer perfection across one convenient level. The commanding first impression, on a premier street in the heart of Menlo Park, begins with drought-tolerant synthetic lawn and the highest quality Connecticut bluestone found on all walkways and patios. White oak floors and vaulted shiplap ceilings, in all public rooms and in the primary suite, are a signature of the home combined with designer-selected lighting plus natural stones and tiles. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with a French La Cornue range and honed Calacatta marble counters. The floor plan is arranged for the utmost in privacy with a dedicated office just off the living room, a second open office area overlooking the rear grounds, plus four bedrooms, each with en suite bath, and a powder room. A privately located front suite is ideal for guests and two suites are adjacent to one another just down the glass-lined hallway from the incredibly luxurious primary suite. The grounds, of approximately one-half acre, are equally beautiful with vast lawn, side and rear terraces, plus a well-defined vegetable garden for bed and vertical farming. Topping it all off, this home is just over one-half mile to downtown shops and restaurants and has access to excellent Menlo Park schools.
