Private Atherton Home on 1.13 Acres with Pool & Tennis Court
Enjoy the rare opportunity to live on 1.13 acres in the heart of Atherton. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, this single-level home offers exceptional privacy, expansive outdoor space, and an unbeatable location just minutes from Stanford University, Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and the best of Silicon Valley.
The home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and approximately 2,420 square feet of comfortable living space. The kitchen opens to the backyard and pool area, making it easy to enjoy outdoor dining, entertaining, and everyday family living.
The outdoor setting is what truly makes this property special. The expansive grounds include a private swimming pool, full-size tennis court, a playground, and mature avocado and plum trees that produce fruit seasonally. Whether you're swimming, playing tennis, relaxing outdoors, or enjoying fresh fruit from the garden, the property offers a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find on the Peninsula.
The location combines privacy with outstanding convenience:
- Minutes to Stanford University and Stanford Shopping Center
- Close to downtown Menlo Park and downtown Palo Alto
- Easy access to Sand Hill Road, US-101, and I-280
- Near many of the Peninsula's top public and private schools

Opportunities to lease a home with this combination of land, recreation, privacy, and central Atherton location are rare.
