175 E Creek Dr · Apartment for Rent

Located in Menlo Park’s coveted Linfield Oaks neighborhood, this beautifully renovated residence offers refined interiors, exceptional outdoor spaces, and easy access to downtown Palo Alto. The property offers approximately 2,640 square feet in total, including a 3-bedroom, 2-bath main residence of approximately 2,290 square feet and a separately accessed 1-bedroom, 1-bath JADU of approximately 350 square feet. The main living spaces are open, bright, and thoughtfully designed. A skylight above the kitchen brings natural light into the heart of the home, while a double-sided gas fireplace creates a striking focal point shared by the living and dining areas. French doors open directly to a broad rear deck beneath a mature wisteria arbor. The renovated kitchen features extensive cabinetry, stone surfaces, stainless-steel appliances, and a warm wood-topped island with generous space for preparation and gathering. Dark hardwood floors anchor the interiors, while expansive windows and abundant natural light pull the surrounding garden into nearly every room, giving the home the secluded feel of a private retreat. The spacious primary suite opens toward the garden and includes ample custom closet space and a beautifully appointed bathroom. Its distinctive wood soaking tub and expansive walk-in shower create a serene, spa-like setting. Two additional bedrooms are located along the adjoining hallway, together with a renovated guest bathroom and conveniently concealed laundry. The grounds are one of the property’s defining features. Mature trees, flowering plantings, winding stone paths, a sculpted, undulating lawn, and intimate sitting areas surround the home with greenery. The wisteria-covered deck provides a natural setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet afternoons in the garden—flowering in spring, providing leafy shade through summer, and allowing sunlight to reach the home during the winter. Solar power adds further everyday efficiency, and the spacious attached garage provides substantial parking and storage. Around the side of the property, a separate entrance leads to a beautifully renovated JADU with its own compact full kitchen and bathroom. Flexible and private, this additional space is especially well suited to a home office, exercise or creative studio, or a comfortable guest or in-law suite. The location offers unusual access to both Menlo Park and Palo Alto. Downtown Palo Alto is easily reached via the nearby pedestrian bridge, while Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford University, Burgess Park, the Menlo Park Library and Civic Center, downtown Menlo Park, and Caltrain are all close at hand. Convenient access to US-101 connects the property readily with Meta, Google, Apple, and major Peninsula employment centers. The property is located within the Menlo Park City School District, with nearby schools including Encinal Elementary School, Hillview Middle School, and Menlo-Atherton High School. Prospective residents should independently verify school eligibility and attendance boundaries. This is a rare Linfield Oaks offering that combines design, privacy, flexibility, and location in one exceptional property.
