An exceptional opportunity to renovate or build new awaits in premier central Atherton, situated at the end of a cul-de-sac lane off the main street. Spanning approximately one acre of level land, the property is surrounded in complete privacy provided by tall foliage. Dating back to 1940, the classic ranch design exudes a Tahoe-like ambiance with extensive wall paneling in natural wood tongue-and-groove, as well as towering all-wood ceilings with exposed beams and trusses. The formal living room is the focal point of the home, featuring a grand fireplace and there is also a formal dining room. Recently remodeled, the sleek kitchen includes all stainless-steel appliances and seamlessly blends contemporary style with the home’s country ambiance.

Personal accommodations include 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, arranged in two separate wings for added privacy. A partial basement offers additional storage, and a detached two-car garage is accessed via a covered patio at the rear. Low-maintenance landscaping surrounds the property and includes an arbor-covered patio, lush foliage, and mature perimeter trees.

With its serene surroundings, fully level grounds, and immense potential for future renovation or development, this property represents an outstanding opportunity in central Atherton.
