Classic architecture and beautifully curated gardens define this stylishly remodeled Menlo Oaks one-level home set on just over one-half acre. Extensive enhancements inside and out within the past 10 years have elevated the property into a turnkey retreat complete with a detached ADU suited for extended family, guests, or rental income, or home office.
A pedestrian gate framed by layered foliage opens to bluestone walkways, raised stone-clad garden beds, and a soothing water feature, creating a memorable arrival amid colorful plantings designed for year-round enjoyment. Inside, newly refinished hardwood floors in a designer hue extend throughout, complemented by crown moldings, recessed lighting, and a soft neutral palette. Formal living and dining rooms overlook the gardens, while the remodeled eat-in kitchen with built-in office area anchors daily life with custom cabinetry, marble-style quartz surfaces, a contrasting island, and banquette seating. Numerous French doors create effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
Three bedrooms and two beautifully remodeled baths with heated floors and curbless showers provide refined comfort. The detached ADU, updated in 2022 with a full kitchen and bath, adds exceptional flexibility, and a detached two-car garage has an adjoining skylit room perfect for fitness or hobbies. All around, the expansive rear grounds unfold with a broad bluestone patio and barbecue center, pebble pathways with a fire pit seating area, enclosed vegetable gardens, fruit trees, camellias, and open space beneath majestic oaks – offering a wonderful sense of space and serenity. All of this is moments from Meta headquarters, downtown Menlo Park and Palo Alto, Stanford University, and Highway 101, plus this address has access to acclaimed Menlo Park schools.
