Remarks

A Rare Opportunity: Iconic Estate on Nearly One Acre in Prestigious San Mateo Park! Rarely does a property of this magnitude become available in desired San Mateo Park! Located on nearly one acre of level grounds, and on the border of Hillsborough, this iconic estate boasts classic Tudor detail with roots dating back to 1924. A testament to earlier era craftmanship, the architecturally impressive home features beautiful hardwood floors, refined millwork, lofty ceilings, and tall true divided light windows throughout its generous one-level design. Expansive formal rooms, an oversized library with fireplace, office, and spacious kitchen with inviting breakfast room comprise the home's grand public spaces. There are three bedrooms, each with vintage tiled baths, plus a convenient half-bath. The vast rear grounds are landscaped in symmetry, adorned with manicured hedges, olive trees, and a large terrace for entertaining, all with a backdrop of lush foliage. A very special place in time!
