Steeped in character and charm, this 1946 Contemporary Tudor-style home is a stand-out in the Baywood neighborhood. Featuring a unique and efficient floor plan, it offers expansive living areas surrounded by large paned windows, which connect the indoor and outdoor spaces and allows natural light to flood the rooms.
En-suite with a lovely, updated bathroom, the primary bedroom is HUGE, offering plenty of room to create your private haven. Two additional guest bedrooms, a substantial finished attic playroom, and a separate full bathroom complete the upper level of this home. The warmth of the main level is overwhelming. The recently updated kitchen is fresh and inviting. Hosting friends and family at 281 W 3rd is a dream. If you close your eyes, you can almost hear the laughter of large gatherings trickling out of the dining and living room into the sprawling backyard. Personalize the yard with a play structure, outdoor barbeque or just enjoy having room to kick around a soccer ball or play catch. But rejoice in the space to make any idea possible. A short walk to lively downtown San Mateo, easy access to public transportation, HWYs 92 and 101, and CA Distinguished Baywood Elementary, Borel Middle and Aragon High schools, this location is both private and convenient.
