    What's special

    Nestled among private properties, this elegant yet relaxed home, built around 2005, was custom-designed, drawing inspiration from 1905 Cape Cod cottages. As you arrive at this 18.46-acre estate, a gently ascending, sweeping paved driveway leads you to an immaculate lawn, well-maintained landscaping, and a two-car garage. The spacious Carolina Room, which extends the length of the house, doubles as a casual foyer. Inside, you'll find beautiful 300-year-old reclaimed oak floors, shiplap walls, and four stone fireplaces. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring Bosch, Wolf, and Thermador appliances, complemented by handcrafted flush cabinetry and granite countertops. Bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed across all three levels for enhanced privacy. The cozy den/game room and stair-nook office offer versatile spaces for various activities. This "Old Sapphire" estate is private and unrestricted, yet conveniently located just a golf shot away from Burlingame Country Club! Additionally, the buyer of this exceptional property has the option to acquire an adjacent 66-acre mountainous parcel.
