On a tree-lined street in the quaint Aragon neighborhood is a stylish split-level with impeccable detailing. Gorgeous oak hardwood floors and white crown molding throughout bestow a graceful sophistication. The home’s main floor opens with a living room featuring a majestic mantel and wide-trim windows with new plantation shutters. This bright and airy room flows into a formal dining room and kitchen through wide arched doorways. The gourmet kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and a cozy work nook. Slab granite countertops and light cherry wood cabinets complement the built-in china cabinet and latticed wine rack in the dining room. Up half a flight of stairs is a spacious master bedroom with a walk-in closet and entertainment alcove, a second bedroom with backyard views, and a luxurious bathroom. Custom wood cabinetry and marble floor to ceiling tile imbue this full bath with classic elegance. The oversized stall shower, spa-style tub, and heated tile floor add both flair and function. Perched atop another half-flight of stairs is the third bedroom, accented by an octagonal window and accompanied by a simple half-bath. The downstairs features a large, tiled space perfect for a home gym, a laundry corner, and a full bath with a framed glass shower. In the front yard, brick brightens the driveway and swirling copper and grey slate steps ascend to a handsome mahogany door. Stepping inside, your sight line extends down a long hall to the back French doors that lead to a tastefully landscaped backyard escape. Tall, leafy hedges line the yard’s perimeter, creating a secluded retreat complete with a flagstone patio and raised wood deck. Stepping-stones meander through an English style garden bursting with flowers, fruits, and veggies. Minutes from Aragon High School and Baywood Elementary, this refined residence offers ample living space in the heart of one of San Mateo’s most desirable neighborhoods.
