west Menlo Park CA tour February 10, 2009

West Menlo Park is a very desirable neighborhood close to downtown Menlo Park and Stanford University. The area within the City limits is considered “prime west menlo”.  Most homes are older ranch style home on 1/4 acre parcels. Many of these older homes are now being replaced by very large 3500sf-4000sf homes. There is also an area in west Menlo Park along the Alameda which is actually county area – near the Dutch Goose and in the outstanding Las Lomitas School District. The Menlo Park City school district is also highly ranked.

Today I will to highlight some new listings priced slightly above $2,000,000.

The first 1300 Hobart is within the City of Menlo Park boundaries and is considered prime west Menlo. This gracious ranch style home sits on a well-landscaped 1/4 acre lot and contains 3 bedrooms 2.5 baths and 2240sf in total. This home has been recently updated and shows very well. Property is listed by Margot Lockwood Coldwell Banker at $2,195,000.

The next two properties in the same price range are in the Couny area off the Alameda.

 2190 Sterling is a 3 year old house of 2,685 sf containing 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths on a 6000sf lot. This two story home has a gourmet kitchen with center island and cathedral ceilings in many rooms. This property is listed by Kristin Cashin of Cashin Properties at $2,195,000.

The final property is located at 1316 Orange Ave., Menlo Park. This 1 year old home contains 2700sf and 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths on a 6300sf lot. The elegant chef’s kitchen has 2 ovens and under counter Vinotemp wine storage. Property is listed at $2,199,000 by Carol Bartlett of Cashin Properties. Carol used to work for my father years ago at Cenedella and Co.

 So which do you prefer? All three houses are priced in a similar range.

Hobart has the classic west Menlo location and 1/4 acre but the other homes are larger and newer.

Just a matter of taste – please let me know what your preference is – I will keep track!
