From curbside to fireside, the storybook romance
of this exquisitely remodeled and expanded
1930's English country manor comes to life with
finely wrought details and time-honored design features.
Leaded glass windows, dormers, and naturally
weathered stone and brick tell a tale of tradition that just
can't be found in new construction. This sensibility
unfolds in an interior that bespeaks of Old World craftsmanship
with hand-scraped hickory hardwood floors,
European limestone fireplaces, and a myriad of French
doors that beckon the outdoors in.
Expansive living areas flow with remarkable ease, heightened by archways,
integrated-color plaster walls, and an abundance of soft, natural
light. Vistas of lush greenery and perennials cast a glow of springtime,
no matter what the season. Abreakfast nook/day office and study area
off the chef's kitchen takes full advantage of the indoor/outdoor
ambiance with French doors that lead to a sunny and secluded walled
garden. A rear veranda and an entertainment patio with a fireplace
complement a setting of stepping-stone paths, ivy, and flowers.
Four relaxing bedrooms include one that easily doubles as a library,
and a master retreat replete with a raised-hearth fireplace, luxurious
marble bathroom, and private balcony. With a full spectrum of modern-
day amenities, such as built-in audio and video, and convenient
access to Stanford, downtown Menlo Park, and excellent local schools,
this masterfully designed home assures many happy homecomings.
