Remarks

Just listed! Beautifully upgraded SM Terrace home on one of San Mateo's most coveted streets! Incredibly charming from the moment you arrive, the Sylvan home has curb appeal to be sure! From the cozy front porch to the mature yards - this is one home you will not want to miss! Upgrades and features include: recently refinished hardwood flooring, fresh interior paint, a newly upgraded bathroom, an upgraded kitchen (with stainless appliances and loads of cabinetry), wonderful natural light and so much more! Expansive to be sure, the permitted glass Sun Room adds an additional 266sf (per city records) and is situated intuitively so that it blends seamlessly with the original square footage of the home and segues perfectly to the large-level rear yard! Neighborhood schools, Beresford Park, Various Shopping Options and more are all close at hand.
