  Spacious and updated, this light-filled home offers a flexible layout, a large backyard w/saltwater pool, and modern upgrades like solar, Tesla Powerwall, and EV charger, all in a prime location near parks, top schools, and downtown amenities.

Set on a peaceful street in Atherton, this spacious and sunlit home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the comfort and privacy of one of the country's most exclusive towns, with a layout that works just as well for everyday living as it does for entertaining. Thoughtful updates blend with classic touches like hardwood floors and detailed millwork, while large living spaces flow easily from one to the next, including a comfortable family room, eat-in kitchen, and a warm living room with fireplace. Five bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility, and the backyard has space to host friends or enjoy the outdoors at your own pace, complete with a saltwater lap pool. Extras like AC, solar panels, and a Tesla Powerwall and EV charger add comfort and efficiency. All just a short walk to Holbrook-Palmer Park, with easy access to downtown Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Stanford, and top-rated Menlo-Atherton High (buyer to verify eligibility).
