Expanded Mid-Century Craftsman in Sought-After Allied Arts
204 Princeton Road, Menlo Park
Classic mid-century character and a thoughtful expansion come together in this beautifully updated solar-powered home in Allied Arts. Original details, including clinker brick accents and a signature hexagonal window, reflect the home’s architectural heritage, while the significant expansion introduces modern livability with an open great room – the centerpiece of the home with kitchen and family room together beneath a dramatic vaulted ceiling. Clerestory windows and custom-paned French doors with full-width sidelights on two sides fill the space with natural light and open the interiors to enchanting patios for outdoor living. Bamboo floors and sleek maple cabinetry add a modern counterpoint to the home’s classic design, which includes adjoining formal living and dining rooms for expansive functionality. Three bedrooms are arranged on one convenient level, including a primary suite with adjoining office and outside entrance. Wraparound outdoor spaces on three sides of the corner lot create multiple options for dining, lounging, entertaining, and relaxing in a large spa beneath mature trees in remarkable privacy from the street. All of this is just blocks from parks, a bike and pedestrian bridge to Stanford Shopping Center, and excellent Menlo Park schools.
