This is your chance to own a storybook cottage, filled with character and charm, on a one-of-a-kind street. 420 Williams Place is a unique opportunity to buy a lovingly preserved and beautifully updated two-bedroom and one-bathroom property that dates back nearly 100 years. When you purchase this home, you will join the 11 other owners on this historic street that is filled with adorable cottages and a close-knit community. The property includes a private, flat backyard complete with trellis and brick patio. The one car garage has a huge amount of attic storage while the quaint paver driveway includes an electric car charger. Spend your time at neighborhood gatherings or walking to either downtown San Mateo or downtown Burlingame. Why buy a condo with an HOA when you can instead buy this single family home that is ready for its new owner. 420 Williams Place is an opportunity you don't want to miss. Welcome home!
