Home of the Day: June 14, 2011



1475 WOODLAND AVENUE, MENLO PARK

3 bed / 3 bath / 2,400 square feet

There are just some streets that always stick with you for whatever reason, and Woodland in Menlo Park has been a perennial favorite of mine.  The creekside tranquility of the street belies the fact that you are just minutes away from accessing Downtown Palo Alto via the bridge at Chaucer and Woodland.  It’s an odd pairing of a location that allows you to “get away from it all” while still being incomparably close to restaurants, parks and shopping.

This property fits right in on the shady street.  Built in 1932, it is classically Mediterranean with exquisite attention to detail.  The ceilings in particular are impressive…a vaulted ceiling anchors the kitchen, while beautiful wood beams grace the other public rooms on the first floor.

The grounds are shady and well planted, anchored by mature trees that further add to wooded appeal of the neighborhood.  They feature a meandering path to get to the front door that passes a subtle fish pond, and are anchored by a fantastic deck and an artist studio.
