840 San Mateo Drive, Menlo Park
This stunning home channels the timeless allure of classic European manors with a design that caters to today’s style of modern living. Redesigned, remodeled, and enlarged in 2006 by renowned Lencioni Construction, the home is a harmonious blend of "Old World" elements, like hand-set stone and brick outside and in, along with Venetian plaster walls and ceilings inside, with a luminous and open design. The home revolves around a tremendous great room with thoughtfully designed kitchen that sets meal preparation and clean up away from an entertainment bar and formal dining room. There are four bedrooms arranged for the utmost in privacy with the primary suite and guest suite on opposite sides of the home plus two bedrooms in the front wing, with a Jack ‘N Jill bath. Tying it all together are beautifully landscaped grounds with wonderful spaces for outdoor living, and all just one-half mile from the shops and restaurants of downtown.
