Overview
With views out to the Bay, classic details, and fresh updates, this is a wonderful place to call home. The one-level floor plan has unique circa 1951 details, including crown molding throughout and charming built-ins – which combine with wonderful updates such as fresh landscaping, new paint, and remodeled kitchen and bathrooms to create classic and timeless appeal.
The formal living room welcomes you with hardwood floors, a focal-point fireplace outlined in stone tiles, drum ceiling light, and picture windows featuring views out to the Bay. The formal dining room, with classic geometric chandelier, is open to both the kitchen and living room creating a wonderful space for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen is beautifully remodeled with richly hued wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances and also enjoys glimpses of the Bay.
In a separate wing, there are 3 bedrooms, one with entire wall of built-in shelves and desk space perfect for today’s work-from-home needs. All have ceiling lights and are served by a remodeled hallway bathroom with sliding glass door shower and eye-catching mosaic feature strip. An additional bedroom suite, cleverly concealed by a bookshelf door in one of the bedrooms, features hardwood floors, a sliding glass door to the rear yard, and remodeled en suite bathroom with frameless glass-enclosed shower and vanity with solid marble vessel sink. Rounding out the appeal of this home is the private rear yard with fresh landscaping and drought-tolerant synthetic lawn that invites you to relax, play, and garden. Topping it all off is the home’s ever-so-convenient location just one block to shopping and dining, two blocks to YouTube headquarters, and minutes to both Highway 101 and 280.

San Bruno
Mills Park
Conceived as an entry-level to middle-class option for families looking to flee the city in favor of quiet suburbia — and later for G.I.s returning from the war — Mills Park has remained true to its founders’ original vision, even as local housing prices edge toward the $1 million mark.
For a number of reasons, Mills Park real estate is among San Bruno’s most popular. It is convenient to downtown, El Camino Real, the 380 freeway, BART, and Caltrain and its curving, quiet streets easily makes it the kind of suburban neighborliness that is often missing from urban and rural settings. The locals keep their homes in good condition and their yards trimmed and their gardens well-tended. Perhaps this is why Mills Park homes soared past the $1 million median mark recently, with the most recent sales falling in the $1.38 to $2.4 million range.
Once a stop on the road between San Jose and San Francisco and then home to the legendary Tanforan horse racing track, San Bruno came into its own following World War II, when a combination of population growth fed large-scale expansion of the city’s western hills. Today, San Bruno is once again on the rise as homebuyers discover this vibrant, diverse and conveniently located city offering myriad housing options ranging from turn-of-the-century cottages to mid-century subdivisions, all the way up to gleaming new condominium buildings. Downtown features mom-and-pop shops and restaurants, plus the Bay Area’s only casino, the venerable Artichoke Joe’s, and BART whisks riders to San Francisco’s Financial District in 20 minutes. Further west, rolling hills offer plenty of protected open space — and an easy freeway commute to Silicon Valley.
