This unexpected retreat on more than one-quarter acre is thoughtfully screened from the street with lush landscaping and a gated driveway creating a private sanctuary tucked away from the surroundings. Designer sophistication is reflected throughout with espresso-hued hardwood floors, custom wall coverings, lacquered finishes, solid marble surfaces, and an exceptional level of cabinetry and detailing. Formal and casual living spaces are equally compelling, anchored by a beautifully appointed kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Glass doors create a strong connection to the rear grounds where enchanting gardens, brick pathways, fountains, fire pit terrace, and fruit trees create a true backyard sanctuary. Completing the appeal is a customized detached garage with workshop and temperature control offering exceptional flexibility for hobbies, a fitness studio, or office, plus walking distance to downtown and access to excellent Menlo Park schools.
