272 Yale Road, Menlo Park

Welcome to the coveted Allied Arts neighborhood and this enchanting home tucked away from the street behind brick columns. An inviting garden courtyard, with private front yard, introduces the home and sets the tone of classic charm with a nod to the Craftsman style. Gleaming oak floors and freshly painted interiors span the one-level floor plan, which has been expanded and updated to include a fabulous kitchen and family room combination beyond the living room and formal dining room. The entire ambiance is bright and light with numerous glass doors plus a towering ceiling with clerestory windows in the kitchen. High-end stainless steel appliances and an island with counter seating stand ready for entertaining with family and friends. There are 3 bedrooms, each with an en suite bath finished in an array of colorful tiles and marble. Outside, beautiful gardens await with bountiful roses and plenty of space for entertaining – all just one-half mile from downtown shops and restaurants.
