Built in 2016, this striking modern residence makes an exceptional impression from the moment you step inside. An open, light-filled floor plan unfolds beneath soaring 10-foot ceilings, while floor-to-ceiling windows and doors take full advantage of the south-facing setting and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. Rift-cut wide-plank hardwood floors, glass-paneled floating stairs, and a dramatic two-sided gas fireplace shared by the formal living and dining rooms bring warmth and sophistication to the contemporary design.

At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen features professional-grade Thermador appliances, sleek cabinetry, and a dramatic stone waterfall island with counter seating, all opening to the adjoining family room for effortless everyday living and entertaining. A flexible main-level office with adjacent full bath provides options for guests or a fifth bedroom. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite with a sitting area and a serene, Zen-inspired bath. Outdoor living is equally impressive with an expansive Ipe deck, hot tub, level lawn, beautifully landscaped grounds, and a generous second-floor patio. Ideally located in Menlo Park with convenient access to Highway 101, Meta, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities.
