Want a brand-new modern home minutes from Stanford, Meta and Highway 101, on a quiet tree-lined street in one of the Peninsula's most desirable towns? This Menlo Park home checks every box.
From the stucco elevation to the oversized solid-wood front door, everything here is new. Let's start where everyone ends up: the kitchen.
A Sleek Kitchen with a Full Thermador Package
The first thing that caught my eye was a sculptural light fixture unlike anything other builders are using. Kitchen highlights include:
- Custom two-tone cabinets, white above and natural wood below, all push-to-open with no hardware
- A full Thermador package: built-in refrigerator and freezer, wall oven, microwave, dishwasher, electric cooktop and integrated hood
- A long quartz island with deep drawers, storage on both sides and a built-in outlet
- A sink set under a window
- Floor registers milled flush with the hardwood
Between the kitchen and living room sits an extra dining area, plus island seating for four or five.
Living Room and Indoor-Outdoor Flow
The living room offers built-in cabinetry along the wall, a bar or coffee nook and a TV that stays with the home. A large multi-panel door opens fully to a covered patio deck running the length of the house, with exterior lighting for evenings.
The backyard is a blank canvas with a few new plantings, ideal for hardscaping, a play area or even an ADU. The neighbor has already built one, and a nearby redwood adds shade without the maintenance.
Main Floor: Office, Guest Suite and Smart Storage
- Home office: Glass doors and a closet, so it can double as another bedroom.
- Formal living and dining: Walls of windows, a halo chandelier, more sculptural fixtures and an electric fireplace framed in stone and wood paneling with inset lighting.
- Storage: An under-stair closet accessible from two sides, plus a coat closet.
- Full bathroom: Textured tile and Hansgrohe fixtures.
- Mud bench and garage: A built-in bench leads to a freshly epoxied garage with high ceilings, ready for an EV charger.
- Laundry room: Side-by-side hookups and a utility sink deeper than the kitchen sink.
- Main-floor suite: A guest or in-law bedroom with high ceilings, backyard access and a walk-in shower instead of a tub.
Upstairs: Every Bedroom Is a Suite
Two secondary bedrooms each have their own bathroom with textured tile, a rain shower and handheld head, and closets with sturdy built-in shelving. One bedroom is set back down a short hallway for extra privacy.
The primary suite overlooks the backyard and feels like a hotel suite. Highlights include:
- A huge walk-in closet with extensive built-ins
- A privacy wall at the bathroom entry
- Woven-texture tile with botanical accents throughout
- A long walk-in shower with a bench, rain shower, handheld and niche
- A deep oval soaking tub overlooking the private backyard
- Dual vanities with arched mirrors, a statement light fixture and a private water closet
The Neighborhood: What You're Really Paying For
Stanford, minutes away. If you're relocating for Stanford, Stanford Health Care or Stanford Research Park, your commute is minimal. Stanford is also expanding a nearby campus, so this home sits between the two. Even if you don't work there, you'll enjoy Stanford Shopping Center, fall football games at Stanford Stadium and the Dish hiking loop. Bring water; it's steeper than it looks.
Parks all around. Burgess Park has a pool, library, gym and sports fields. Flood Park was recently renovated, Bedwell Bayfront Park offers bay-side trails, and Atherton's Holbrook-Palmer Park is a peaceful escape next door.
Everyday errands. Downtown Menlo Park has Trader Joe's, Draeger's Market for specialty groceries and Kepler's Books, a local favorite for decades. Palo Alto's University Avenue is just down the road for evenings out. See how this area compares in my Menlo Park neighborhoods guide.
Commute and Transit Options
- Highway 101 and El Camino Real: North to San Francisco or south to Google and Apple.
