The open and adjoining dining room benefits from the shared fireplace and features a halo candle chandelier and sliding glass door to the deck, creating an ideal setting for entertaining guests.

The fabulously remodeled kitchen boasts sleek modern style with white cabinetry topped in polished black granite and a contrasting island topped in white quartz with counter seating. To-the-ceiling backsplashes of linear tiles enhance the striking design, while high-end stainless steel Thermador appliances make cooking a delight.

Two additional bedrooms on the lower level each have mirrored closet doors and track lights, and one opens to the rear deck. Serving the bedrooms is a large designer bath with tub, overhead shower, and heated floor.

The wraparound upper deck and lower deck provide stunning canyon views and ample outdoor living space for entertaining.

Equally known for its pleasant, rolling streets as well as multi-million dollar estates, Hillsborough represents the pinnacle of exclusive yet laid back peninsula homes. With close proximity to all major roads, yet still secluded and private enough for the most discriminating homeowner, Hillsborough’s large but subtle homes and roads-without-sidewalks “woodsy” feel apppeal to many. And, it’s also one of the best and most picturesque towns on the peninsula for a Saturday jog!

The public school system in Hillsborough is among California’s finest, with an excellent faculty to student ratio and a successful technology program. Hillsborough’s Crocker Middle School is well known in the area for its excellent preparation of its students for high school and beyond. And, there are also three excellent private schools in Hillsborough: the Bridge School, which serves students with physical and speech impairments, the Nueva School, a noted elementary school, and Crystal Springs Uplands School, a well established and respected elementary through high school.

As of the year 2000, Hillsborough was the highest income place in the United States for cities of a population of 10,000 or more. The town is six square miles, of which 238 acres are open space and cannot be developed. It’s name comes from the hometown of William Davis Merry Howard in New Hampshire, who visited the peninsula in 1864 as a 16 year old and convinced his shipping magnate father to buy Rancho San Mateo (including what is today the city of San Mateo).

As Hillsborough is all single family homes, the town contributes a portion of the budget to the Burlingame and San Mateo libraries, and shares a fire department with Burlingame, called Central County Fire.

Special Yearly Event: The Concours d’Elegance, benefiting the Hillsborough Schools Foundation, held each August on the golf course started in 1956 by Hillsborough mothers.
