Park Forest is an enchanting enclave of attached single-family homes on the edge of and just a short stroll from downtown Menlo Park amenities. Amid clusters of towering redwood trees and lush greenery, the attached single-family homes line the street with a blend of both urban and rural character, each with an individually designed façade that rises two stories above the garage. Boasting a spacious floor plan, this multi-level home easily flows from one room to the next, culminating on the top level with 3 bedrooms, including the primary suite. The second level has been extensively renovated with formal dining, everyday living, an office area, and the stunning kitchen combined in one open space. Numerous skylights, a dramatic wall of glass in the living room, and expansive windows at every turn fill the home with natural light and views out to the private park with community pool.
