Enjoying a sought-after address bordering the San Francisquito Creek, this classic ranch home offers updated interiors, a well-appointed guest house – also perfect for today’s work-from-home needs – and a sparkling pool. Traditional, timeless appeal extends throughout with hardwood and tiled floors, crown moldings in every room, and bright expansive windows and glass doors. An open floor plan, wonderful chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, and built-in desk centers in the kitchen, primary bedroom suite, and guest house are today’s sought-after amenities. The privately accessed guest house has a separate bedroom and bath offering seclusion for visitors or employees, if needed. Topping it all off is the wonderfully private rear yard with separately fenced pool and plenty of defined space for gardening and play. With access to excellent Menlo Park schools, plus proximity to Stanford University as well as shops and restaurants, this is indeed the perfect home for today!
