1780 Oakdell Drive,
Menlo Park
This stately shingled new home in the heart of Menlo Park exudes the timeless sophistication of a Hamptons estate with design-forward interiors that express the clean streamlined ambiance of a contemporary penthouse. Just completed, the property combines classic appeal with a highly refined, understated elegance. The main level features soaring ceilings with modern lighting, gallery walls for art, a formal dining room with butler’s pantry, and optional formal living room or the perfect office for today’s work-from-home needs. At the heart of the design is the great room with fully retractable glass doors opening to a loggia and a modern Italian kitchen with two islands and book-matched or waterfall-wrapped Calacatta-style counters. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms are found, including the primary suite with extra-large bath, steam shower for two, and fully customized walk-in closet. The lower level unfolds with space for recreation complete with show-stopping full bar, wine cellar with tasting room, glass-enclosed fitness center, and a second private office with built-ins. Rounding out this level is the Accessory Dwelling Unit with outside entrance, full kitchen, bath, and its own laundry making this ideal for an au pair or extended family.
