Overview
Privately positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac and framed by manicured gardens, this beautifully updated home offers impressive curb appeal and a sought-after location in the heart of San Mateo. A fresh designer hue with crisp white trim enhances the traditional façade, introduced by a curved walkway, lawn, and specimen Japanese maples.
Designed for comfort and flexibility across two levels, the spacious floor plan features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, providing generous accommodations for family, guests, and home office needs. The main level includes expansive formal rooms with hardwood floors, a remodeled kitchen with breakfast area, and a large family room that opens directly to the rear gardens. Three bedrooms, including the primary suite with an updated bath, are found on this level, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located upstairs.
Thoughtful updates throughout enhance the home’s classic appeal, from decorative tile and stone selections and recessed lighting to feature strip inlays on the hardwood floors. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, appointed with quality appliances and honed granite finishes. Outside, a large rear patio and raised planting beds — all with prolific roses and camellias — create inviting spaces for relaxation and gardening. Adding the finishing touch, this home enjoys direct access to West Hillsdale Park at the end of the street, is one block from Hillsdale High School, and just one-half mile to Hillsdale Shopping Center.

San Mateo
Hillsdale
Bohannon incorporated economies of scale to keep his prices low. Lumbar was milled on-site at Burleigh Murray’s old bar, at Hacienda Avenue and Hillsdale Boulevard. Work on the 100-home Hillsdale #2 tract was begun shortly after Hillsdale #1 opened to the public.
Homes are modest in size, with two and three bedrooms and between 1,100 and 1,500 square feet of living space. Some homes have been expanded over time and others have been razed, then replaced with much larger, more ornate structures. Original homes are simple in style, with clean, boxy lines and a variety of exterior finishes. Homes in the Hillsdale neighborhood fall into the middle of the San Mateo pricing spectrum, with “original” ranch homes selling for between $1.5 and $1.8 million, and expanded homes fetching more than $2 million on the open market.
The Park Western Subdivision was laid out in a manner typical of its era. Cul-de-sacs dominate the street layout, and the small district includes two parks within its borders. In 1941, shortly after completing the subdivision, the 15,000 square-foot Andrew Williams department store opened on land adjacent to the Park Western Subdivision – the future site of the Hillsdale Shopping Center, which debuted as an open-air “Fashion Park” in 1954.

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.
