Tucked-away on more than one-half acre gem in sought-after Menlo Oaks, the property features two electronic gated entrances, one leading to the main home and one to the carriage house apartment and guest house. Extensive renovations include new paint, flooring, lighting, bathrooms, and appliances. The one-level main home has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, while the accessory structures present opportunities for extended family, rental income, and/or remote office needs.
