Menlo Park Broker Tour Report

Tuesday, Feb 24, 2026

Today the story was about multi-million dollar homes! I continue to be surprised at what one gets at these price points. For example, 318 Warner Range Ave is a beautiful house but for $12mil, personally, I would not want to be looking into my neighbors window and have a backyard that is basically a patio space and that’s it. Now for $2mil less, Doris Dr offers a 1,000 sq ft smaller house + about the same lot size AND you get some backyard space, even a pool. Overall, a fun tour and it was a wonderfully warm day so I had the chance to roll down the windows and roll back the roof!

MENLO PARK 301 – Sharon Heights / Stanford

Listing Agent Broker: Josh Rubin, Compass

Address: 319 Warner Range Ave 

Bedrooms: 7 – Bathrooms: 8 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 7320

Lot Sqft: 12500 

Price: $12,495,000

Listing Agent remarks: N/A

My takeaways: Beautiful, sophisticated, highly functional floor plan. The ADU on the Primary floor is brilliantly tucked away, it feels like its own wing. As you know with these new builds I struggle with the vacuous basements, but this one was divided up into spaces that can be put to use, although I do wonder how many sitting rooms one family needs!

 

Listing Agent Broker: Dana Carmel, Represent Realty

Address: 184 Sand Hill Cir (Condo)

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1850 

Lot Sqft: 1452 

Price: $2,099,000

HOA: $1008 p/m

Listing Agent remarks:  Remodeled, light-filled townhome with golf course views

My takeaways: True story. Got the key and couldn’t find the key hole. There was a digital pad but no code provided so I turned myself around and headed out. This is a great community and these condos are highly desirable given their location to Sand Hill Rd and I-280, a main thoroughfare to San Francisco and Cupertino. This one will be tougher for some as it isn’t at street level and requires descending a decent number of stairs to get down to the front door.

 

MENLO PARK 303 – Central Menlo

Listing Agent Broker: Erika Demma, Compass 

Address: 1806 Doris Dr

Bedrooms: 5 – Bathrooms: 5 Full, 2 Full

Sqft: 6415 

Lot Sqft: 12000 

Price: $10,900,000

Listing Agent remarks: Shows like a new house. One of MP’s best streets.

My takeaways: This one had me at “hello” with its front porch! The beamed vaulted ceilings, the natural wood floors (swoon) that you could see the texture in, and the wonderful mix of traditional and modern. I loved the “WC” callout on the downstairs bathroom door. 

 

Listing Agent Broker: Judy Citron, Compass 

Address: 1440 Bay Laurel Dr

Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 4 Full

Sqft: 3480 

Lot Sqft: 11356 

Price: $7,995,000

Listing Agent remarks: Prime Location-Extraordinary quality, impressive great room 12′ ceilings, pool

My takeaways: Bay Laurel has had quite a bit of construction on it as the old homes come down and buyers look to take advantage of the bigger lot sizes. It looked like there was only one construction project in this part of Bay Laurel, so not too bad. The main floor of the house felt snug, the dining room felt small, and a lot of right angle turns. The Primary on the main floor is a suite unto itself, it even offered a little bit of a foyer which was a surprise. The upstairs offers 2 bedrooms with a sitting room, excellent for older kids. I think younger families might struggle with this layout but if you can find a way to grow into the space, there is a bedroom down the hall from the Primary, so maybe bunk beds for a few years and then the kids can retreat to their own area of the house?

 

MENLO PARK 304 – Allied Arts / Downtown Menlo Park

Listing Agent / Broker: Billy McNair, Coldwell Banker Realty

Address: 1045 College Ave 

Bedrooms: 5 – Bathrooms: 4 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 4095

Lot Sqft: 7384

Price: $6,648,000

Listing Agent remarks:  Ideal Allied Arts location. Turnkey, 5 beds + office, open flr plan, basement.

My takeaways: Excellent location. Overall a choppy layout. The lower level is essentially a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment. It isn’t closed off from the main house, just a flight of stairs down from the main floor. It has a fluidness to it that I wish the rest of the house did. Upstairs is the Primary and one bedroom, then a bedroom on the main floor, and then two on the lower level, overall a bit disconnected for the majority of families.

 

MENLO PARK 305 – Middlefield to El Camino Menlo Park

Listing Agent / Broker: Ella Sun, Compass

Address: 156 Morandi Ln

Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 3 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 1945

Lot Sqft: 3088 

Price: $2,495,000 

HOA: $280

Listing Agent remarks: Newer Craftsman-Style SFH at corner with greenery view. Quiet and cozy.

My takeaways: I could have sworn I toured this last year, but property history doesn’t show it on the market, nor another corner unit so I guess I am imagining things! It’s a tight fit, a lot of stairs, and steep at that. 3 stories, top floor is a bonus room that has a full bathroom so it can be a guest room, office… an overall flex space. While a detached single family house it does carry an HOA that maintains the landscaping and there is a wonderful playground area for kids. 

 

Listing Agent / Broker: Elyse Barca, Compass

*This had 3 pre-emptive offers and sold before Broker Tour.

Address: 1691 Stone Pine Ln (townhome)

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full, 1 Half

Sqft: 2500

Lot Sqft: 1842 

Price: $2,188,000

HOA: $430 p/m

Listing Agent remarks: Beautifully updated 3BR/2.5BA gem with elevator. A 10!

 

Listing Agent / Broker: Colleen Foraker, Compass

Address: 1317 Laurel St

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1520

Lot Sqft: 1214

Price: $1,995,000

Listing Agent remarks: Chic Contemporary in close proximity to downtown. 

My takeaways: Hmmm, I somehow forgot to put this on the list when I was asking the MLS for driving directions!

 

MENLO PARK 308 – Willows / O’Conner Area

Listing Agent / Broker: Nicole Aron, Compass

Address:  626 Central Ave

Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 3 Full

Sqft: 1557

Lot Sqft: 3862 

Price: $2,950,000

Listing Agent remarks: Wonderful 4bd/3bath in the Willows! Stylish, updated, great location.

My takeaways: I thought the lot on this would feel small, but they way the house is positioned you get a nice front and backyard. The garage hasn’t been converted yet, and I am not sure the size would even accommodate today’s car or SUV, unless it was a Mini! The main floor is choppy. If someone was up for a bit of work, and willing to lose the 4th bedroom on the main floor, one could open that ground floor up giving the kitchen, living room and family rooms a bit more space. Overall an excellent family home for the price point.

 

MENLO PARK 311 – County Area / Fair Oaks Area

Listing Agent / Broker: Andrea Schultz, Coldwell Banker Realty

Address: 754 15th Ave 

Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full

Sqft: 1255 

Lot Sqft: 5350 

Price: $1,949,000

Listing Agent remarks: Updated 3bd, 2ba home on peaceful North Fair Oaks street. MA High School.

My takeaways: Pending as of Broker tour today. Someone was waiting for this property to come on the market!
