550 Grace Drive

This exceptional property – one of the most recognizable homes in central Menlo Park on a premier corner lot – was built by David Crouch Custom Homes in 2008. The Australian Federation style boasts a signature wraparound veranda and has just been extensively updated inside with new designer paint colors against crisp white millwork, refinished white oak floors, contemporary hardware, and new woven carpeting. The result is ultimately chic and sophisticated.  Luxurious features are plentiful including 5 bedrooms, each with private bath, a library, recreation room with full bar and wine cellar potential, fitness center, and home theatre. Designed for outdoor living, the private rear yard has an oversized spa, sport court, fireplace, built-in flat screen TV, and barbecue center. A commercial-quality security system, including night vision cameras with hard drive recording, scans the entire property 24/7. Plus, the home’s superb location is just minutes to wonderful schools, Sand Hill Road venture capital centers, Stanford University, and commuter routes to all of Silicon Valley – truly the perfect place to call home!
