Beautifully reimagined in 2017, this Central Menlo residence occupies one of the most sought-after streets in Menlo Park. Combining ultraluxury with access, privacy, and prestige, no expense was spared nor detail overlooked in the extensive remodel. Superb craftsmanship, labor-intensive installations, and exquisite designer selections are evident throughout. Cascades of natural light illuminate skylit interiors where flexible gathering rooms unfold from a master chefs kitchen replete with premier appliances.
Private retreats include an office and ultra-large primary suite boasting a glamorous island California closet and marble spa. Immerse yourself in utter privacy on a vast terrace surrounded by mature trees, fitted with a BBQ, fireplace, and pizza oven. Lavish highlights include custom California Closets® storage, natural stone finishes, luxury hardware, and statement European wallcoverings. Enjoy unbeatable proximity to elite academies and exceptional public schools, including Oak Knoll Elementary and Hillview Middle (buyer to verify). Within easy reach of Downtown Menlo, Sand Hill Road, Stanford University, and many other world-class destinations.
