Huge, so you can rattle around in it like everyone else in their lonely, empty giant houses.

Time for new zoning laws to make it possible to subdivide or build other residences.

There must be lots of buyers around with $21M and no taste. And that's $1M in commission at least.....

So much negativity! Why all the hateful statements? Envy? Jealousy? Not loving what you’ve got so much that you have to put others down?
Since when is selling a house for a lot of money tragic?
How does it follow that new zoning laws are needed because of one house for sale. Yeah, that’s what we want our city Council spending time on. Right on!
Wonder why the writer thinks the owners are lonely in their house? I bet they have lots of friends they share their home with. Party on Fullers.
Taste is personal, and something the writer “really” seems to lack.
None of these contributors to this discussion, myself included, would do anything different from the owners. We would all sell our homes for the most we could get for them.
Maybe we could all be a bit more positive.

Hi Betty,
What does The Almanac get for that free advertisement for the Realtor?
Given the underclass clientele normally frequenting this outlet, one should be prepared and (wo)man enough to deal with a little bit of pushback on that by most reasonable measures insane waste of resources.

Have any Menlo Park homes ever sold for this price ? NO !!
I'm sure this ASKING PRICE is great for the Realtor promo, seller and neighbors. And we can rartionalize that it's close to Atherton all day. But it's not Atherton. 1 sale does not make a market. And it hasn't sold. There's 1 born everyday, and 2 to take him (her).

Ok makes a good point. Comparing Menlo Park to Atherton is like trying to compare a Toyota with a Maserati. While still somewhat expensive, it’s still ridiculous to compare this home to Atherton. There are other towns like Woodside and Portola Valley which average much higher.

But who knows, it looks like an amazing home on a large lot on a great street. Hard to replace.
