Challenged by daylight plane limitations and floor area ratios required by Menlo Park, the challenge of fitting all desired programmatic elements of the Cerros Manor home was a creative puzzle.
In a traditional architectural style, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home has an attached ADU complete with its own entrance, kitchenette, full bath, walk-in closet, and separated living and bedroom space. The ADU offers a highly functional and graciously-sized floorplan not available in the existing housing stock with a generous great room and multiple connections to the lanai.
Large flexible space is located at the front of the home suitable for a conventional home office, formal dining, home gym, or den. A butler’s pantry can be reimagined as a pocket office. A large primary suite and primary bath with soaking tub overlooking the yard, offers private retreat.
