Remarks

Timeless Elegance Single Story in San Mateo Park. This light-filled Classic Ranch home boasts a flowing floorplan that is bathed with light from well-placed skylights and windows. It features magnificent formal rooms, three generous sized bedrooms, a chefs dream kitchen, a home office, and fine hardwood floors. The formal living room features a grand gas log fireplace and bay window. The separate dining room features a skylight and easy access to the kitchen. Any master chef will love the kitchen with built in appliances, an island as well as a built in desk. The many closets will be appreciated as there are four in the center hall alone. The home offers an excellent choice for move-down buyers or an entry opportunity into The Park. Indoor/outdoor living is both convenient and inviting with an expansive deck for entertaining that is accessible from multiple rooms. Steps lead to a secluded garden area with mature landscaping, while a separate synthetic lawn or a patio area allows a choice of where to relax or entertain. Easy access to Burlingame Avenue and Downtown San Mateo for great restaurant options and many shopping options. The Park is perfect for SFO access, roughly halfway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Living in this magical neighborhood will not disappoint.
