Welcome to this one-story, Country French home surrounded by beautifully-landscaped gardens in the Lindenwood area. Inside, a grand foyer links the living room and dining room, the kitchen is expanded by a sunny breakfast area, and the family room is convenient to the swimming pool and cabana. There are five bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths in the main house, including a comfortable master suite. A one-bedroom, one-bath apartment with a full kitchen occupies the second story of the three-car garage. Outside, in the fully-fenced rear garden, a sweep of lawn is complemented by a lush perennial border. A loggia with a wood-burning fireplace overlooks the patio and pool, while mature perimeter trees ensure peace and privacy. Menlo Park schools.
