Description

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).
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from June 12, 2026

    "Atherton is a quiet town with stunning trees, beautiful homes, and a very low crime rate. The Atherton town administration is incredibly helpful. The police once returned my lost puppy. Atherton is conveniently located near major employers, Stanford University, restaurants, shopping, and between 280 and 101. "
  • Daniel S.
    "It is a spacious quiet place full of friendly people. Dog owners would love to see each other walk their dogs. People also jog, go on walks, and roller blade. Dog owners are usually friendly and responsible."
