Listed at $26,499,000 by Compass Menlo Park agent Judy Citron, 1340 Arbor Road is a three-story masterpiece reimagined by renowned Pacific Peninsula Architecture. A second parcel located at the front entrance, priced separately, offers the opportunity to develop an additional home or create a family compound. When combined, the 2+ acre property would amount to Menlo Park’s largest residential lot.
