This classic and timeless English estate, located on a premier street in the heart of central Atherton, presents a range of possibilities. Whether moving in today and enjoying the freshly painted two-story home, embarking on a renovation journey to craft your dream estate, or contemplating building anew, this property caters to diverse aspirations. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, while a detached guest house provides an additional bedroom, bath, and full kitchen. Beyond the guest house, discover a secluded tennis court and a charming brick barbecue terrace, echoing the home's rich heritage dating back to 1929. Further enhancing the English charm are cobblestones that define the gated driveway entrance and adorn the front of the home.

Inside, freshly painted interiors and hardwood floors extend throughout. The grand formal living room makes a lasting impression with a Rumford fireplace, well-appointed bar with icemaker and refrigerator plus Calacatta marble counter seating, and a cathedral beamed and trussed ceiling. For those special formal gatherings, a coffered ceiling and a wall of built-in cabinetry grace the dining room, which is conveniently served by a butler's pantry with sink and ample cabinetry.

The kitchen is a haven for chefs, boasting cherry cabinetry, granite surfaces, and a white center island beneath a striking copper hood suspended from the sky-lit ceiling. High-end Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances complete this culinary space. The kitchen seamlessly opens to the family room with cobblestone fireplace, freshly painted cabinetry, coffered ceiling, and three sets of French doors to the rear grounds. A handsomely appointed library with a built-in workstation is perfectly suited for today's remote office needs. Completing the main level is a junior primary suite featuring a mirrored closet and a Carrara marble bath with dual-sink vanity, jetted tub, and frameless-glass shower.

Upstairs, the primary suite unfolds with a vaulted ceiling, French doors and matching windows to a private balcony, banquette seating, and a customized walk-in closet. The en suite marble and limestone bath includes a dual-sink vanity, a corner jetted tub, skylight, frameless-glass shower, and private commode room. Two additional bedrooms, each with hallway access and adjoining one another with French doors, share a dual-entry bath that connects directly to one of the bedrooms. Additional amenities encompass a laundry/mud room, a finished basement room with the potential for a wine cellar, and a detached 2-car garage with laundry facilities and adjoining bicycle garage. Attached to the garage is the spacious guest house complete with fireplace, full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, separate bedroom, bath with shower, and even laundry facilities in the direct access garage.

This expansive property of just over one acre of level grounds is surrounded by neighboring estate homes and in close proximity to prestigious Menlo Circus Club, downtown Menlo Park, and excellent Menlo Park private schools. Whether seeking a refined residence with classic elegance or envisioning a canvas for your personal touch, this property offers an abundance of possibilities in a highly sought-after location.
