We spent a month at this property and it is just as advertised. In a phenomenal location - Sharon Heights - which overlooks Menlo Park and is stunning. The lovely garden is a highlight. It’s quite large (at least coming from a London flat ;) and feels very secluded with redwoods and a beautiful magnolia tree outlining the property and keeping views of neighbors hidden. We loved exploring and spending time in the many different areas of the garden. My children loved jumping from stone to stone and finding the garden’s hidden charms. The house itself is well-appointed with a fantastic kitchen full of light and excellent appliances. Bathrooms are also updated and very nice. Japanese toilets were a hit with my family :)
Just a five minute drive from Safeway, Starbucks, Bakeshops and CVS, the house is extremely convenient. I think it was about 10 minutes to Stanford Shopping Center and around the bend to Stanford Golf Course. We highly recommend hiking in Sharon Heights in the morning or evenings and taking in the view.
Lin was a wonderful host. She did a great job of setting up the house for us and being available as needed.
We are grateful to have found this beautiful property just minutes from our family who reside in Palo Alto and San Mateo and hope we can come back soon!
