Welcome to this charming, Ranch-style home, located on a secluded flag lot in unincorporated Menlo Park. Hardwood floors and wood-framed windows enhance this three-bedroom, two-bath home. Inside, the living/dining room, entry, and master suite surround a central patio with an arbor, installed by noted landscape artist Cevan Forristt. The kitchen and family room share a view of the front garden, a creation of the same designer. The rectangular swimming pool is backed by textured concrete planter and accented by a sculptural concrete fountain. This property is being offered separately, but may be purchased in combination with 552 Encina Avenue (the front lot) to form a parcel totaling approximately .495 of an acre.
