About this Property
Once upon a time (1939), on a quiet cul-de-sac was a picture-perfect home near what would one day be the thriving heart of Downtown San Mateo. Prized for its 37-minute railway commute to San Francisco (in 1863), San Mateo was the bustling hub of diverse services, retail and entertainment--the primary playground for San Franciscos 19th-century elite. Through 20th-century suburban expansion, this picture-perfect home remained on its quiet cul-de-sac near what is now the family-friendly, walkable, culinary, art and retail scene of Downtown San Mateowithin strolling distance of the railway stop/Caltrain Station. The home has undergone modernizations through the years while maintaining its architectural integrity, as seen in the beautiful oak floors, stately ceilings, intricate moldings and trim, picture rails and wrought iron work. Recent updates to the kitchen and baths include adding Carrara marble, granite and subway tile surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and solar panels for energy efficiency. From a rural stagecoach stop to a mix of historic charm and modern luxuries, this picture-perfect home on a quiet cul-de-sac remains, picture perfect.
