This California ranch home combines classic design hallmarks from its 1950 heritage with fresh updates and newly landscaped gardens. Ready to move in and enjoy today, this property also presents an opportunity to remodel or even build new. This Central Menlo Park location is superb, just down the street from the bicycle bridge to Stanford Shopping Center and Stanford University. The oversized lot spans approximately one-third acre in a very private setting dotted with signature Japanese maples and expanses of newly planted lawn. Inside, hardwood floors extend throughout, arched room openings recall the home's early roots, and finishes in decorative ceramic tile appoint the updated kitchen and 2 full baths. There are 3 bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, and the entire home presents the garden views at every turn. Adding the finishing touch is the home's access to excellent Menlo Park schools.
