Brand New Modern Design with Organic Warmth

1866 Valparaiso Avenue

Menlo Park

Offered at $9,385,000

This just-completed new home introduces a refined expression of modern design, where clean architectural lines are softened by richly textured materials and a warm, organic palette. Set back from the street behind a long gated driveway, the approach establishes an immediate sense of privacy and intention. Throughout the home, custom finishes and carefully curated materials are enhanced by custom lighting that plays a defining role in the interior experience. Skylights and expansive walls of glass amplify the effect, bathing the spaces in natural light and highlighting layered textures of wood and stone.

Public rooms unfold with a strong sense of openness and continuity. The formal living room is distinguished by corrugated wood accent walls and an elevated linear fireplace, while the nearby formal dining area is subtly separated from the kitchen by floor-to-ceiling smoked gray glass cabinetry that provides visual definition and functionality without interrupting light or flow.

The kitchen is a study in sleek, modern design, finished with hardware-free cabinetry, fully concealed appliances, and Amarula marble surfaces that extend seamlessly into a full-height backsplash. A built-in table extension from the island introduces an informal gathering space, while the overall aesthetic remains crisp and uncluttered. Fully open to the kitchen, the family room is crowned by a dramatic skylit ceiling and anchored by an elevated linear fireplace, with stacking glass doors that open to the rear deck and extend living and entertaining outdoors. Completing the main level is a flexible-use room sharing the family room wall, along with a dedicated private office.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat defined by calm tones, thoughtful detailing, and custom lighting. A sitting area with refreshment bar, customized walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed bath with freestanding tub, large shower, and private commode room create a sense of understated luxury. Three additional upstairs bedrooms, each with organized closet and en suite bath, continue the same level of finish and attention to detail. An attached one-bedroom, one-bath ADU with its own private entrance adds versatility, offering an independent living space that reflects the main home’s design language and quality.

The rear yard completes the experience with an expansive deck, perimeter laurel hedge, and synthetic lawn designed for low maintenance and effortless enjoyment. Throughout the property, modern systems, programmable lighting, and climate control have been seamlessly integrated.
