This stunning designer home in Menlo Park’s most desirable neighborhood offers sophistication and modern luxury on one convenient level. Extensively renovated in 2016, the home features thoughtful design and high-end finishes with refined millwork, dazzling lighting, and custom wallcoverings adding a perfect touch of elegance. Impressive curb appeal presents a classic and timeless tone with a deep gray palette trimmed in white. Stacked stone accents beneath two bay windows enhance the design, preceded by a verdant lawn and four mature trees.

Inside, hewn-finished hardwood floors and crown moldings unify every room, while chair rail moldings add an extra layer of refinement and numerous skylights provide abundant natural light. The formal living room features a sleek quartzite-outlined gas-log fireplace beneath media wiring, flanked by cabinetry with display shelves. True-divided light pocket doors provide privacy to an adjoining room with flexible use as a media room or office for remote work needs. The formal dining room extends from the tremendous great room and opens to the rear yard.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream with polished marble counters, encaustic-style tiled backsplashes, island counter seating, two wine coolers, and a suite of high-end Thermador appliances. A customized walk-in pantry adds exceptional storage with counter space. Casual dining and everyday living areas seamlessly flow off the kitchen, enhanced by a gas-log fireplace beneath media wiring and surround sound speakers.

The home’s 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths are privately located in a separate wing with a skylit hallway. Two spacious bedrooms have direct access to a shared bath, a bedroom with en suite bath is perfect for guests, and the primary suite offers luxurious accommodations with a masterfully organized walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with freestanding tub and oversized shower. French doors in the primary suite, family room, and dining room open to the inviting rear yard with an expansive terrace, gas fire pit, built-in barbecue center, and putting green. Top-rated Menlo Park schools and proximity to shops, parks, and Stanford University complete this exceptional home.
