Overview
Located in the sought-after lower Skyfarm neighborhood, this beautifully appointed home exudes the timeless appeal of a classic Hillsborough ranch. Set on approximately 0.63 acres, the home is introduced by a circular motor court and refreshed landscaping with lawn and manicured boxwood hedges, leading to an elegant double-door entry flanked by sidelights. Inside, classic architectural details are immediately evident – from parquet wood and oak hardwood floors to crown moldings and refined wainscot paneling. Freshly painted interiors and new lighting enhance the setting.
Formal living and dining rooms provide impressive venues for entertaining, with the living room showcasing a detailed coffered ceiling, marble fireplace, and French doors with matching windows that open the space to the enchanting rear grounds and pool. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with white cabinetry, granite slab countertops, and a suite of quality appliances, including a gas cooktop and built-in refrigerator with matching cabinet panels. A separate casual dining area and adjacent family room offer comfortable gathering spaces, each with easy access to the outdoor living areas. There is also a dedicated office/library with custom cabinetry that adds flexibility for today’s work-from-home needs and offers dual entry to the living room and the primary bedroom suite.
The bedroom layout is ideally arranged, with a separate wing that includes the primary suite plus two additional bedrooms and a hallway bath. A fourth bedroom and full bath are positioned near the kitchen and garage, perfect for guests or au pair accommodations. The primary suite offers two organized closets, sliding glass doors that open directly to the rear grounds, and a marble-finished en suite bath with a jetted tub and frameless-glass shower.
The rear grounds are designed for enjoyment, featuring two large decks, a dark-bottom pool, and serene canyon views, along with a spacious side yard and lower area offering wonderful options for play and recreation. Adding the finishing touch to this premier location is the home’s access to excellent Hillsborough schools, including North Elementary and Crocker Middle School.

Hillsborough
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.
