With a superb address in sought-after Allied Arts, this home exudes storybook charm and elegance that is classic and timeless. A large fully fenced and lushly planted front yard introduces the brick-clad home, which opens to newly painted interiors, refinished hardwood floors, and plantation shutters. A spacious living room with fireplace and formal dining room are complemented by a separate window-lined family room with cobblestone fireplace and surround sound wiring for media enjoyment. The bright and light granite-finished kitchen showcases two of many skylights found throughout. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including the primary suite, which opens to the rear yard, and a private upstairs suite. A sparkling pool awaits outside on the more-than-one- quarter-acre lot with plenty of room for entertaining and play. All of this, plus a location just blocks from Stanford Shopping Center and minutes to downtown Menlo Park and excellent schools.
