    FEATURES

    Set behind a gated circular motor court, this magnificent French-inspired residence portrays timeless architecture and classic style. Manicured landscaping and parterre gardens create a lovely introduction to the home, which features wonderful symmetry in design with steeply pitched rooflines and arched windows. Spanning three levels, the home is meticulously crafted with newly refinished maple floors throughout the public rooms, perfectly selected light fixtures, and a color palette that exudes sophisticated living. The beautifully appointed main living areas radiate from a dramatic two-story foyer, comprised of a spacious living room, formal dining room, and handsomely paneled library/office. The gourmet kitchen with breakfast room adjoins an expansive family room with towering two-story ceiling and balcony overlook from the upper level. For lively social gatherings, the lower level is just the place complete with recreation room, kitchenette, office or hobby room, plus a customized home theatre.

    Personal accommodations – all bedroom suites – are arranged with a main-level junior master suite and a romantic upper-level master suite with fireplace, private balcony, sumptuous bathroom, and tremendous closet room. Three additional suites on the upper level are ideal for family members. Befitting a property of such magnitude, the private rear grounds present a spectacular setting intertwined with strolling paths, level lawn, and fragrant gardens that unfold before a magnificent pool, spa, and large sport court. Adding functionality and convenience for entertaining is a built-in barbecue center plus a pool cabana with changing area, bathroom, and outdoor shower. Adding the finishing touch is the home’s desirable corner location on a lovely cul-de-sac in sought-after Lindenwood – just minutes from downtown shopping, Caltrain to San Francisco or Silicon Valley, and excellent Menlo Park schools.
