What's special

Beautifully updated with a rare combination of location, quality, and thoughtful detail, nestled on a tree-lined street in the coveted Baywood neighborhood. A reimagined great room features raised ceilings, red oak hardwood floors, and abundant natural light, creating an effortless sense of space. The open-concept kitchen is anchored by a large island, crisp white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a farmhouse sink, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Large sliding glass doors open to a low-maintenance backyard with a patio and drop-down projector screen, perfect for outdoor movie or game nights. Behind the beauty, extensive improvements bring peace of mind, from new electrical, plumbing, and ductwork to a suite of smart-home features thoughtfully integrated throughout. Owned solar, Tesla Powerwall, EV-ready, central heating, and a finished garage with epoxy flooring further elevates comfort and functionality. Flexible floorplan offers 4 bedrooms + a bonus room that can serve as a study or 5th bedroom, along with 3 modern bathrooms. Short walk to downtown San Mateo, Central Park, and the library. Quick access to Hillsdale Shopping Center, Caltrain, Hwy 92, 101 & 280 for easy commute to San Francisco or the South Bay. Top-rated Baywood/Aragon schools.
