This stunning home boasts the best of traditional architecture and interior design – all with timeless elegance and finely executed details. Artisan quality millwork, ceiling detail, hardwood floors, and dazzling lighting bring each room to life. Formal venues begin with a spacious living room with fireplace, French doors to the rear grounds, and three striking chandeliers with beaded accents. Built-in two-sided glass-front cabinetry is shared with the formal dining room, elevated two steps above, and opening to the rear grounds for al fresco enjoyment. A butler’s pantry enjoys granite countertops with a sink and refrigerator for entertaining ease. The kitchen is beautifully updated with quartzite counters topping the custom white cabinetry and complemented by high-end stainless steel appliances. A peninsula counter separates a large casual dining area that opens to the rear grounds, and fine hardwood floors that begin at the entrance continue to unify the public rooms. Just around the corner, an inviting family room welcomes media enjoyment and everyday living with a gas fireplace and built-in desk center perfect for today’s office and learning needs.
Arranged with a split-level design, the home’s personal accommodations begin on the main level with a dedicated office with front-facing windows and recessed lighting and an adjacent bedroom with crystal chandelier and en suite bath with shower. A few steps up to a mezzanine level, the primary suite enjoys French doors to a front balcony, two walk-in closets, and an all-marble bath with jetted tub, shower, and private commode room. Also on this level is another bedroom suite with chandelier, skylight, and bath with tub and overhead shower. The fourth bedroom is located on the garage level, just a few steps down, and features a built-in desk and adjacent bath with tiled shower. Rounding out the accommodations and offering exceptional flexibility for use, especially as an office or fitness center, is a basement-level finished room with outside front access, alcove with glass ceiling, plus a huge storage room. Modern luxuries all around include Nest thermostats, air conditioning, programmable lighting, heated bathroom floors on the upper level, distributed audio, and security including video front doorbell.
Outside, the professionally landscaped grounds are equally enticing and superbly private with a heated pool and spa surrounded by Arizona flagstone and eco-friendly synthetic lawn. Adding the finishing touch is the home’s location in the community of Felton Gables known for its get-togethers, Halloweens, and warm, friendly ambiance. Truly a great place to call home!

Felton Gables | Menlo Park
Almost surrounded by Atherton, the quaint neighborhood of Felton Gables is named for the 1890s-era estate once owned by former U.S. Senator Charles Norton Felton. Bordered by the glorious Holbrook Palmer Park and Encinal Avenue, Felton Gables’ homes were built between the 1920s and 1950s. As the lots were sold individually during a wonderful era in home building, the neighborhood’s 115 custom homes today offer an eclectic range of architectural styles. Residents of Felton Gables are part of an association with modest dues and have direct access to Holbrook Palmer Park. There is a fall cocktail party, a general meeting, and a widely attended Fourth of July picnic complete with a children’s parade, barbecue, and other festivities.
The residents of Felton Gables take pride in their homes, neighborhood, streets, and community.
