The layout features five en-suite bedrooms including one downstairs. The primary suite is located upstairs – an exceptional retreat with sitting room, couture closet, and spa-inspired bath. Three additional bedroom suites are just down the hall. 

The unfinished lower level, with towering ceilings and numerous windows, offers more than 2,400 square feet which may be used for recreation, a theater, and fitness – or whatever your lifestyle choices may be.Additional amenities include multi-zoned air conditioning, Nest thermostats, a distributed sound system, and programmable lighting. Outside, the level grounds are an enchanting, park-like setting with the opportunity to add recreational amenities.

Set in a premier location in Menlo Park, just two blocks from downtown conveniences on Santa Cruz Avenue and close to excellent Menlo Park public and private schools, 1340 Arbor Road is an unforgettable property that captures the ambiance of an Atherton estate.
