About this home
Single Family · Built 1931 · Historic
Gorgeous view on a 14,208 sq. ft. lot!!! Nestled in the prestigious area of San Mateo, this expansive property, features a main house and an ADU (with uncertain permit status). The main residence, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, welcomes you with a gated long driveway, neutral color hardwood floors, and an open living and dining area illuminated by large windows that reach nearly from floor to ceiling, inviting in ample natural light and offering views that capture the essence of tranquility. The vast lot, over 14,000 sq ft holds promise for expansion, offering endless possibilities to customize and enhance this already impressive property. While the ADU's legal status requires clarification, it represents potential for rental income or flexible use as a guest house, complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and a charming deck. This property is not just a home but an opportunity for families to enjoy a comfortable home with captivating views, and the potential for personalization, all within the desirable San Mateo community.
