About this home

On a picturesque street in Allied Arts, this inviting 3-bedroom home feels deeply rooted in its idyllic setting, with mature greenery creating a rare sense of privacy and tranquility. A brick pathway leads through a beautifully established front garden to 2,000+ SF of bright, airy interiors, where hardwood floors, crown molding, and skylights bring a quiet warmth to the rooms. The living room centers on a fireplace, while the chef's kitchen flows into the dining room and out to the grounds. A family room, with its own fireplace, offers another welcoming place to gather. Yet it is the grounds that give the property its singular character. Mature hedging encloses the backyard, and above the brick patio, a magnificent wisteria canopy has grown into something both graceful and enduring, lending the yard a storybook quality. A broad lawn, covered deck, and fruit and vegetable garden extend the home outdoors, creating places for quiet afternoons and gatherings alike. Here, the peaceful character of the property is balanced by a prime location close to downtown Menlo Park and Palo Alto, Caltrain, Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford, and major commute routes, with access to acclaimed Oak Knoll Elementary, Hillview Middle, and Menlo-Atherton High School (buyer to verify eligibility).
