Overview
Freshly Updated Jewel a Short Stroll to Shops, Restaurants, and Cafes
This mid-century jewel is classic and timeless with fresh updates and remodeled interiors. Lush, verdant foliage welcomes you at the entrance along with navy blue window shutters carved with hearts that add to the inviting ambiance. The matching navy blue front door opens to a foyer defined by terra cotta tile floors, then beautiful hardwood and laminate wood floors continue throughout. The living room doubles for media enjoyment with on-wall wiring for media above the fireplace. Crown moldings, recessed lights, and a fan adorn the ceiling while stylish plantation shutters finish the front and side windows. The formal dining room enjoys a wide pass-through opening to the living room and is fully open to the remodeled kitchen, which has cherry-hued cabinetry, some with reeded glass fronts, and all topped in granite slab.
Just off the kitchen, the converted garage adds bonus space and features expanses of custom cabinetry and counter space plus integrated laundry. In a separate wing at the rear of the home, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, including the primary suite with hardwood floors and a sliding glass door to the rear deck. Both bathrooms are nicely updated. The rear yard, also accessed directly from the bedroom hallway, is a wonderful spot for entertaining on the large deck and for play, complete with drought-tolerant synthetic lawn and sand box. Adding to the appeal of this home is its location in San Mateo Village just one-half mile from Whole Foods, cafes, and restaurants. Welcome home!

San Mateo
San Mateo Village
San Mateo Village includes the area between El Camino Real and the Bayshore Freeway, McClellan Avenue and East 40th Avenue. For decades, San Mateo Village real estate occupied a niche at the entry level of San Mateo. In recent years, that has changed. The neighborhood's location, convenience and inventory of well-preserved, updated, mid-market mid-century homes have made it a favored destination for first-time and mid-level buyers, as well as downsizing empty nesters, and is considered an excellent “starter” home neighborhood. Increased popularity has meant rising prices for San Mateo Village real estate. Homes for sale now cluster around a small range of prices, selling almost exclusively recently for between $1.7 and $1.86 million.

San Mateo has it all: a diversity of neighborhoods, great parks, easy access, a plethora of shopping, and home to many businesses and an anchor for employment on the peninsula. With a rich heritage, dating back to the turn of the century with its most famous resident being A.P. Giannini, the founder of the Bank of Italy and later Bank of America, San Mateo offers a delightful spread of activity for all. The downtown area is studded with delicious restaurants and a variety of retail stores, and also boasts a 12 screen movie theatre and one of the largest wine cellars in the country, at Draeger’s Grocery Store. Shopping abounds at Hillsdale and Bridgepointe as well as the many neighborhood shopping centers.
Perhaps the most well known natural area is Coyote Point, a rock outcropped peninsula that juts into San Francisco Bay and home to a natural history museum, the Peninsula Humane Society, windsurfing, a private marina, and large picnic areas with uplifting vistas. Within walking distance of downtown, Central Park has something for everyone: ride the toy train, pick up a game of tennis, take a serene walk through the Japanese Garden, have a picnic while listening to Thursday evening’s Jazz in the Park, or enjoy the playgrounds.
San Mateo attracts a variety of homeowners, from those seeking their first home in the upcoming neighborhoods of the Village, Parkside, or Shoreview, to those looking for more a little more space in Hillsdale or the Meadows, to larger families seeking the spaciousness offered by San Mateo Park, Baywood, and Aragon.

Early San Mateo was a place of large estates and boldface names familiar to anyone who’s driven the town’s streets. Parrott, Hayward, Borel—these were the wealthy pioneers who sowed the seeds that eventually grew into today’s modern city of 100,000 residents. San Mateo was borne from their needs and later from their subdivided land, all around a stagecoach stop established in 1849 by Nicolas de Peyster on former Ohlone tribal land.
