Welcome home

  • A Garden Approach with Presence

    Set along a gently winding, tree-studded street, the home is framed by a tall, mature English laurel hedge that creates a natural buffer from the road and establishes a sense of subtle separation upon arrival. A decorative olive tree anchors the front garden, while fresh sod and newly refreshed planting beds introduce structure and softness to the landscape. The gentle lapping of water from the custom fountain adds movement and life to the setting.

    Horizontal and board-and-batten Hardie siding, selected for durability and longevity, defines the exterior. Open rafter tails and half-round gutters add dimension and texture, balancing clean modern farmhouse lines with subtle architectural detail. A paver stone driveway transitions to Connecticut bluestone slabs that guide the approach to the front porch where an Alder wood lighted panel front door marks the covered entry with warmth and scale.


  • Formal Space with Atmosphere

    Inside, a welcoming foyer opens beneath rising ceilings and an L-shaped staircase with a modern glass railing. To the right, the parlor features wainscoting, wood-cased windows, and a cast-concrete fireplace surround designed to echo stone. The fireplace anchors the room and creates a natural focal point, giving the space a composed atmosphere suited for conversation and gatherings with ambience.

    A powder room is positioned discreetly between the parlor and kitchen.


  • A Kitchen Designed for Daily Living and Refined Entertaining

    Straight ahead, the home opens into a generous great room where kitchen, dining, and family spaces blend seamlessly.


    A generous quartz island anchors the kitchen, supported by a Thermador appliance suite. All cabinetry has been removed, refinished, and repainted to present as fresh and new. Grohe fixtures, a filtered-water tap at the sink, and a flush garden window overlooking a rose vine introduce both function and natural light without interrupting the space's clean lines.


    The Thermador appliance suite includes a six-burner range with double ovens, a pot filler, a vent hood, a 48-inch refrigerator with custom panels, a dishwasher, a warming drawer, and a pull-out microwave integrated into the island. A glassy tile backsplash provides a clean, modern backdrop.


    The scale and configuration make this kitchen a complete entertainment environment. There is ample room for guests to gather and be seated at the island while prep unfolds comfortably behind the scenes. The appliance suite and storage allow for catered events or private chef dinners without disruption. It performs equally well for a weeknight meal or a more formal evening.


    A butler’s pantry with wine refrigeration and additional storage connects the kitchen to the parlor and leads to a walk-in pantry with sensor lighting.


    The adjoining dining area overlooks the landscaped backyard and includes a built-in desk with cabinetry for daily organization.


  • Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

    In the family room, a Montego linear fireplace clad in fluted Porcelanosa tile anchors the great room, offering both architectural presence and integrated heat circulation. Along the rear, a wall of 15-foot panoramic glass doors fully collapses, allowing the interior to open completely to the patio and garden.


    The paver patio is positioned slightly above the lawn, naturally defining seating and dining areas without physical barriers.


    The backyard landscaping continues the layered design introduced at the front of the home, balancing structure and softness. A neighbor’s mature oak anchors the far corner, giving the yard scale and permanence.


  • Flexible Main-Level Suite

    A fourth bedroom suite is positioned off the great room with its own bathroom and direct access to the patio. Its placement supports guests, extended family, or a dedicated office while maintaining separation from the upstairs bedrooms.


  • A Light-Filled Primary Retreat

    Upstairs, the primary suite features a vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows above the headboard wall, introducing additional daylight and architectural dimension. Windows overlook the backyard garden.


    The ensuite bath is fully clad in Porcelanosa tile and includes a floating double vanity with sensor-driven under-lighting, a freestanding resin soaking tub with floor-mounted fixture, and an open shower with rainfall head. A Toto toilet is set within a separate water closet. The walk-in closet is fitted with a custom storage system.


  • Well-Appointed Secondary Bedrooms

    A skylight positioned along the upstairs hallway wall allows daylight to cascade downward, enhancing the vertical volume of the space. One secondary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, while the other features a double-door reach-in with custom organization. The connecting tandem bath incorporates dual vanities and soft-close pocket doors for flexible separation.

  • Integrated Systems and Practical Design

    Behind the walls, the infrastructure reflects the same level of intention as the visible finishes.


    Integrated Sonos audio extends through the kitchen, family room, patio, parlor, and primary suite, with built-in media speakers supporting the main living area.


    A Navien gas-fired tankless water heater is paired with a circulating hot water system, delivering efficiency and near-instant hot water to fixtures throughout the home. Two-zone HVAC, with air conditioning, supports balanced comfort across levels.


    Two independent EV charging stations serve both the garage interior and the exterior drive, allowing flexibility for multiple vehicles.


    In a forward-thinking detail, conduit has been installed beneath the foundation to support future power expansion for a potential ADU, offering long-term adaptability without disruption.


    These are systems designed not only for today’s needs, but for how the property may evolve over time.


  • Connected to Parks, Downtown, and Daily Life

    Linfield Oaks is one of Menlo Park’s most established and beloved neighborhoods. Known for its mature trees, welcoming streets, and central location, it offers a setting where daily life in Silicon Valley feels both convenient and connected.


    Just blocks away is Burgess Park and the Menlo Park Community Center, a gathering place for residents with expansive lawn areas, baseball fields, a skate park, swim and tennis facilities, and the charming Menlo Park Library.


    Downtown Menlo Park is minutes away for morning coffee, vibrant local restaurants, boutique shops, Trader Joe’s, Draeger’s Market, and everyday services. Two nearby pedestrian bridges also provide easy access into downtown Palo Alto, expanding the options for dining and shopping.


    Stanford University is close by for lectures, performances, museums, and year-round campus events. The Stanford Shopping Center and Stanford Hospital campus are also within easy reach, bringing culture, education, and world-class amenities into everyday life.


    For neighborhood essentials, The Willows Market is a longtime local favorite offering fresh produce, specialty foods, wine and beer, and a deli counter perfect for picking up picnic supplies or last-minute dinner ingredients.


    Commuting throughout Silicon Valley is straightforward with quick access to US 101 via the Willow corridor, while the nearby Caltrain station provides an additional option for travel up and down the Peninsula.
