Menlo Oaks Beautiful Custom Craftsman Home
Located in the sought-after Menlo Oaks area, this custom Craftsman home offers a perfect blend of classic appeal with luxury indoor/outdoor living. With nearly one-half acre of beautiful grounds, this home features timeless design elements, including hardwood and limestone floors, wooden window shutters, and architecturally detailed ceilings. Natural light streams through the entire home, which begins with formal living and dining rooms and continues to a tremendous gourmet kitchen and family room combination that is certain to be the home’s central gathering place. The spacious two-story floor plan includes five bedrooms, including one on the main level, plus a dedicated office, providing ample space for both family living and professional needs.
The meticulously designed rear grounds are a true oasis for outdoor living in a very private setting. There is a full barbecue kitchen, two arbor-covered lounges, fireplace, an extra-large spa, and a putting green, all set against a backdrop of eco-friendly synthetic lawns that span both the front and rear yards. Adding the finishing touch to this very special property is its access to excellent Menlo Park schools and proximity to Stanford University and Meta’s headquarters.
