Indoor/Outdoor Living with Designer Panache

The best of California indoor/outdoor living unfolds at this remodeled home and guest house in desirable Lloyden Park, the only neighborhood in Atherton with underground utilities, sidewalks, and even brand-new street lights. The one-story home, introduced by a reflecting pool and enchanting gardens, is classic and timeless with hardwood floors and refined moldings, but it is the designer selections apparent at every turn that make this home so special – from custom wall coverings to entire walls finished in artistic patterns of marble. Oriented to the resort-inspired yard with pool, ample space for outdoor enjoyment includes a vast terrace and amazing dining cabaña with full kitchen and fireplace next to the beautifully appointed guest house. Boasting complete privacy on one-third acre, this home is just minutes to Holbrook-Palmer Park, the new proposed Town Center, downtown Menlo Park, and Caltrain – a wonderful place to call home.
