Overview

Extensively remodeled and expanded within the past two years, this home has it all – a fabulous open design, gorgeous finishes, and the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit for rental or extended family – all with very quiet interiors and a serene backyard for outdoor living. Richly hued wood floors unify the great room, which is designed for everyday living, media, and dining along with a modern designer kitchen with breakfast bar seating. A gas-log fireplace enhances the setting, and a sliding glass door opens to a large, expanded deck that spans the rear of the home. There are 4 spacious bedrooms and 4 full baths in the home, including a main-level primary suite and a lower-level bedroom and bath, equally suitable as a home office. The new ADU is accessible from the interior of the home and also has a private outside entrance. Offering the potential as a future rental unit, it is an expansive and beautifully appointed living space, featuring a full kitchen with breakfast bar seating, plus there is a portable laundry unit, large bath, and separate bedroom. Completing this extensive remodel, and behind the scenes, are features like new plumbing and electrical, hardwired Ethernet and surveillance, air conditioning, smart lighting, and so much more.

Farm Hill Estates

Andy Oddstad, the developer of Farm Hill Estates, was a World War II hero whose eponymous company eventually built 14,000 single-family homes and 2,500 apartment units in the Bay Area. At its peak, Oddstad Homes was one of the largest residential builders in the United States. He began his career at age 17, working as a carpenter for his uncles, San Francisco builders Henry and Ellis Stoneson, and founded his first company, Homes by Sterling, shortly after returning from the war.

Development of Oddstad Homes "Medallion Series" in Farm Hills began in the mid-1950s. From the outset, Oddstad, with a background in civil engineering as well as carpentry, prided himself on the new tract's workmanship and quality, going so far as to include an open invitation in the new development's marketing brochure. "you are invited to come out and watch us build," he wrote, "to see for yourself why our homes cost less when you buy (and) are worth more if you sell."

By 1964, the year of Oddstad's tragic death at the hands of a negligent driver, work on surrounding hills open for development, which came in an unplanned manner that contrasted with Oddstad's neatly suburban vision. This newer area, with its winding, narrow streets, lack of sidewalks and diverse architecture, more closely resembles neighboring Emerald Hills. Some of Farm Hill' largest homes can be found here, beautiful bay views, upwards of 3,000 square feet of living space and asking prices that often soar to well beyond $5 million. But it is the Oddstad homes that are now receiving offers well above their asking prices and selling for an average of $2.8 million and sometimes well into the $3 millions, that are the "trademark" of Farm Hills. Their continued popularity and impressive condition are tributes to a man who, above all else, says his daughter, Sandra Oddstad Nathan, "was a stickler for construction quality.

Farm Hills Estates homes for sale are popular not only because they offer space, views and a quiet setting; they are also within the boundaries for Roy Cloud Elementary School, arguably Redwood City’s most desirable elementary school. Roy Cloud is located just inside the border of Farm Hills Estates, near the intersection of Emerald Hill Road and Jefferson Avenue and consistently finishes among California’s top public elementary schools in Academic Performance Index score.

Farm Hills Estates is for Redwood City homebuyers looking for a quiet setting but aren’t interested in the isolation of Emerald Hills. The neighborhood offers seclusion with a setting designed to promote community togetherness and attractive, spacious homes priced at the middle to upper middle of the market. It is also deceptively close to the 280 freeway and offers a bonus – the cultural opportunities that come with having Canada College within its borders. It’s not the neighborhood for buyers wanting pre-war charm or cutting-edge modern style, 4,000 square feet on four living levels or the isolation of a hillside perch. It is what Andy Oddstad set out to create: an established suburban community with a touch of nature.

Redwood City’s location in the heart of the peninsula is an excellent location for working in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Within close proximity to Atherton, Woodside and Stanford, the downtown is currently undergoing a major renaissance with a new movie theatre and shopping complex recently completed, as well as a new Whole Foods. The town is the county seat with courthouses and an array of county services, and has the only deepwater port on San Francisco Bay south of The City itself. The neighborhood of Redwood Shores is part of Redwood City, although it is not possible to travel by road from one to the other without passing through the neighboring city of San Carlos.

The outdoor enthusiast has plenty to be excited about with what a day of adventure can yield; Edgewood Park’s serpentine grasslands offers relaxing vistas with miles of hiking and equestrian trails, and Redwood Shores has delightful waterways and paved walking trails. The Mount Carmel and Emerald Lake Hills (in unincorporated SM County) neighborhoods reflect the area’s rich cultural heritage with well designed, distinct homes and large wooded, private lots.

Canada Community College, just off 280, is within striking distance of many peninsula homes.
