Rarely available, this original ranch-style home presents an exceptional opportunity in a prime West Menlo Park neighborhood. Built in 1950, the three-bedroom, two-bath home offers approximately 1,620 square feet of living space with hardwood floors throughout most rooms. A spacious living room features a wood-burning fireplace and windows overlooking the front yard, while the kitchen includes tile flooring, a gas range, an adjacent breakfast area, and doors to the backyard. Formal dining area with back yard views. A front-facing bedroom with a bay window and additional bedroom are served by a bath with original tile and a cast iron tub-shower combination. The primary bedroom opens to the backyard and includes an adjacent bath with a walk-in shower and a generous walk-in closet.

The approximately 15,681-square-foot lot is exceptionally deep and widens toward the rear, creating a private, park-like setting with an expansive lawn, mature trees, and a pool. A brick-covered front porch adds classic charm, and a covered breezeway with two skylights connects the home to the two-car garage. With ample outdoor space and remarkable potential, this property offers the opportunity to move in, remodel, expand, or envision a new home from the ground up. The desirable location combines excellent Menlo Park schools with convenient access to Stanford University, Stanford Shopping Center, Sand Hill Road, and Highway 280.
