855 Menlo Oaks Drive,
Menlo Park
This mid-century modern Joseph Eichler home has been fully renovated while still preserving and enhancing what Eichler called “boldness, change, and optimism through indoor/outdoor living.” The clean-lined and flowing floor plan showcases original signature design details including gently vaulted, paneled ceilings and an entire walls of glass opening to the grounds. New floors in high-end luxury vinyl in a white oak hue are as practical as they are beautiful, all complemented by freshly painted crisp white walls and brightened by numerous skylights. Beyond the spacious living and dining room combination with fireplace is a granite-appointed kitchen, casual dining area, and inviting family room, also with fireplace. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, including the primary suite with French doors opening to the entertainer’s rear yard. Set on more than one-half acre, outdoor living venues include a vast rear yard with pool, dining terrace, plus expansive lawn. Completing the appeal of this home is its convenient location close to downtown Menlo Park and Palo Alto as well as access to excellent Menlo Park schools.
