After the Menlo Park Fire Protection district closed escrow on a $4.6 million residential property next to its Almendral Avenue fire station in Atherton, the district's chief said that it will be two decades -- and possibly three -- before the district will build a new fire station using the property.
District Chief Harold Schapelhouman said on June 8 that the district's cash offer, a quick close, and willingness to allow the prior owner to stay at least 30 days helped the district beat out three other formal offers on the property.
The district's agent, Nino Gaetano, and listing agents Maya and Jason Sewald, work for Pacific Union International.
The chief said the district has not yet inspected the home on the property, and will not do so until the current owners move out, which will not be for several months.
