Upcoming Residential Properties in Menlo Park & Atherton California
Date: Tuesday, Aug 26, 2025
We are on the slow roll to Labor Day weekend and the end of Summer 2025. Hard to believe. Not a lot on tour today, I suspect sellers are waiting until after Labor Day when people are back in town, kids are fully back in school and there are no distractions until the long weekend in October, that to be honest, I don’t know what to call anymore!
Enjoy the long weekend, and we will see what’s on tour next week!
MENLO PARK 302 – County / Alameda Area
Listing Agent / Broker: The Dreyfus Group, Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty
Address: 2051 Gordon Ave
Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 3 Full
Sqft: 2750
Lot Sqft: 6000
Price: $4,295,000
Listing Agent remarks: A+ lovely home with recently renovated kitchen & baths. Las Lomitas schools.
My takeaways: Completely lovely. Without knowing exact dates, I’d say the house has been recently remodeled with a great attention to detail. The potential downside for a young family is there are 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs, but that said it is a wonderful family home!
MENLO PARK 304 – Allied Arts / Downtown Menlo Park
Listing Agent / Broker: Jackie Schoelerman, Coldwell Banker Realty
**This property is now officially on the market,
Address: 671 Live Oak Ave
Bedrooms: 5 – Bathrooms: 5 Full, 1 Half
Sqft: 3270
Lot Sqft: 5645
Price: $4,650,000
Listing Agent remarks: Modern Luxury in prime Allied Arts!
My takeaways: From Aug 19th tour: This property sits in a mixed use area and they have done an excellent job with designing the house not to notice this fact once you are in the house. The property offers high ceilings, great sized rooms and ensuites in all bedrooms. There is an attached ADU that is accessible via a separate staircase. This is a property you can rent out. Unfortunately, the ADU doesn’t connect to the main house so limits flexibility of how to use this space. The listing agent had every agent that toured submit a recommendation on list price, so it will be interesting to see what this comes to market for!
MENLO PARK 311 – County Area / Fair Oaks
Listing Agent / Broker: Darcy Gamble, Coldwell Banker Realty
Address: 560 9th Ave
Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 3 Full
Sqft: 2694
Lot Sqft: 5713
Price: $2,998,000
Listing Agent remarks: Bedroom on main level & three giant bedrooms up. You will be happy you saw it.
My takeaways: I got a sneak peak at this over the weekend. Needs some updates but makes for a wonderful family house. The lot size is small so there isn’t much of a backyard, but it sits right at the top of a cul-de-sac which is excellent for kids.
Atherton 290 – Alameda to 280
Listing Agent / Broker: Courtney Charney, Parc Agency Corporation
Address: 1 Tallwood Ct
Bedrooms: 6 – Bathrooms: 6 Full, 3 Half
Sqft: 10047
Lot Sqft: 44431
Price: $19,495,000
Listing Agent remarks: Updates since last on market — do not miss!
My takeaways: I was quite taken with this house. Sits up on a hill, it is large but doesn’t feel vacuous. It’s been on and off the market. I think the issues are as follows; a lot of the property is sloped so it puts limit on usability, for a $20mil house it has some cheap finishes, example the primary shower has a hotel-type shower head, the ADU is really a cabana with French doors on one wall it would be tough to put a bed in there, the slate on the terraces is chipping, and the family room has a huge bar area that takes away from the usability of the room. All that said, the pool is glorious and a private location.
Atherton 291 – El Camino to Alameda
Listing Agent / Broker: Deleon Team, Deleon Realty
Address: 58 Marymont Ave
Bedrooms: 6 – Bathrooms: 9 Full, 2 Half
Sqft: 10580
Lot Sqft: 43896
Price: $17,988,000
Listing Agent remarks: Stylish, sophisticated Atherton estate
My takeaways: A wonderful flat property with a great backyard. Let’s just say this house is of a particular taste and style so if they still isn’t your speed, you’d be making quite an investment to remodel. The main floor is quite choppy, so through in a redesign of the main floor.
Atherton 292 – Middlefield to El Camino Area
Listing Agent / Broker: Dana Carmel, Represent Realty
Address: 89 Fair Oaks Ln
Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 2 Full, 1 Half
Sqft: 2883
Lot Sqft: 16191
Price: $4,388,000
Listing Agent remarks: One story, zen-like home with large backyard.
My takeaways: This house is somewhat dwarfed by the 2 houses next to it, one of which sold in the past 6 months and was much more grand with a better yard. The best part of this house is the 2 story great room, after that it feels quite cramped and needs some updating.
