Overview
A Signature Home in Beresford Manor
This beautifully updated home has it all – a Mediterranean ambiance with designer interiors, outstanding outdoor spaces, and an amazing location just 2 blocks from vibrant 25th Avenue with its myriad restaurants. The spacious corner lot is wrapped with a long gracefully curving stucco wall with custom front and side gates, pineapple finials (the symbol of welcome), and an array of tropical and colorful foliage. The contrast of crisp white with the green foliage and verdant front lawn makes this home a standout in this desirable Beresford Manor neighborhood, also known as the Storybook House District.
Arriving at the covered entrance, draped in vines, the front door opens to a gracious living room with a focal point, half-circle fireplace that is replicated in the adjoining large office. Continue into the formal dining room through a wide passageway with slightly vaulted peak and discover a brilliant vintage chandelier that provides a dazzling reflection on the ceiling. Refinished hardwood floors and freshly painted interiors unify the entire floor plan. Ideal for today’s work-from-home needs, the large office just off the dining room (with potential as a third bedroom) showcases a half-circle fireplace plus French doors to the rear grounds and the convenient side gate. Serving it all is an updated kitchen with granite slab counters, tumbled marble backsplashes, and quality stainless steel appliances.
The home’s 2 bedrooms are amply proportioned and beautifully appointed with vintage-style ceiling lights, and stylish plantation shutters. The bedrooms are served by a fully remodeled limestone bath, which blends perfectly with the home’s style. Adding to the appeal of this lovely home are the wraparound outdoor living spaces with vast lawn edged in grasscrete brick pavers, a mature magnolia tree, and a soothing water feature. Welcome home!

Whatever their age, they tend to have less than 2,000 square feet of living space and anywhere from two to four bedrooms. They also occupy smaller lots – usually around 5,000 square feet.

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.
