Tucked away on a “flag” lot at the end of the road on the edge of Stanford, this gated home spans more than three-quarters of an acre bordered by a seasonal creek. The sublimely private setting, next to the bike bridge that connects Palo Alto and Menlo Park, has a sparkling pool and spa, koi pond, and vast outdoor entertainment venues. Inside, the spacious two-story home is freshly painted inside and out and features beautiful hardwood floors in the public rooms and fine carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. Large formal rooms are perfect for entertaining, and the kitchen adjoins a wonderful family room with full bar for poolside enjoyment. There are 5 bedrooms, including one on the main level that is ideal for an office, an upstairs primary suite, plus an additional en suite bedroom. With its rare acreage, fresh finishes, pool, and outstanding location next to Stanford, this is indeed a very special place to call home.
