“Nothing happens but fi rst a dream.”

“It is an excellent way to get information out to people in my market sphere because it is an excellent newspaper. It carries area news and features that people in Woodside, Portola Valley and Atherton want to know about. When I list exceptional homes and estates, I want to get the word, and the pictures, out. The Almanac is a great way to do that.”

Walk to Downtown Menlo Park from this stunning 5 year-old cus-tom built house on one of Central

Menlo Park’s most coveted cul-de-sacs!

Only the fi nest materials, moldings, paneling, fi xtures and fi nishes are used throughout this sun-fi lled home. Soar-ing ceilings welcome you. French doors opening up to the private yard create the ultimate atmosphere for entertaining and indoor/outdoor living. This home features 6 Bedrooms, 5 bathrooms on 3 levels with a large bright basement. Lot size is just under 10,000 sf.

Unique opportunity to own such a high quality and inviting home in a prime location! The entire cul-de- sac is a playground for kids to play and adults to socialize or just relax. Downtown Menlo Park is a short stroll away, as are parks, schools, and the bike bridge to Stanford. Sandhill, Caltrain and downtown Palo Alto are minutes away. Excellent Menlo Park schools. This home has it all!

This charming remodeled home in Sharon Heights is tucked away in a lush, private setting on a beautiful 14,518 sf lot. The main house has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a sunny great room with vaulted ceilings and French doors opening up to the back yard. There is also a detached guest house with bedroom and full bath. Move right in now, and room for expansion in the future!

The location of this home is also ideal -- short walk to shopping, parks and schools, and close to commute routes. Outstanding Las Lomitas schools!
