Price Upon Request

This striking contemporary farmhouse, by renowned Lencioni Construction, sets the tone for exceptional Menlo Park living. Completed in 2013, the home reflects a modern sensibility grounded in timeless architectural appeal, with a cohesive palette of materials and finishes carried throughout the expansive two-story design. Espresso-toned hardwood floors extend throughout, complemented by custom wallcoverings, distinctive lighting selections, and natural stone surfaces that elevate each space with quiet sophistication.

The main level unfolds around a stunning kitchen and family room combination designed as the true heart of the home. Light gray cabinetry, quartz counters, and a Carrara marble-topped island create a visually compelling workspace, while professional-grade appliances including dual dishwashers support effortless entertaining. A casual dining area with banquette seating encourages everyday gatherings, and the adjoining family room is defined by a feature wall of cabinetry, a gas fireplace, and a full stacking wall of glass that opens seamlessly to the rear terrace for indoor-outdoor living at its best.

Just off the foyer, a flexible-use room with custom cabinetry and integrated wet bar offers versatility as a formal living room, office, or media lounge. The formal dining room, equally well-appointed, connects to a beautifully outfitted butler’s pantry with wine storage and refrigeration, ideal for hosting on any scale.

A main-level primary suite provides a private retreat with French doors opening to the grounds, a customized walk-in closet, and a luxurious marble bath featuring heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, automated shades and steam shower. A secondary bedroom suite on the main level offers excellent accommodations for guests. Upstairs, two additional bedroom suites each enjoy their own marble bath with shower, while a central lounge creates a relaxed space for media, play, or study.

The gated grounds span just over one-quarter acre and are designed for year-round enjoyment. A pool and spa with linear waterfall, in-ground pool cover, expansive terrace with built-in barbecue, fire pit, outdoor shower, manicured lawn, roses, and raised vegetable bed enhance the resort-like setting.

Additional highlights include automated systems for lighting, sound, climate, and window coverings, multi-zone heating and air conditioning, and a detached two-car garage with EV charging and gated driveway. Ideally located on one of central Menlo Park’s most desirable streets, surrounded by estate homes, this property offers proximity to top local schools, Stanford University, Sand Hill Road, and major Silicon Valley commute routes — a rare opportunity combining design excellence, comfort, and an exceptional location.
