Overview

Updated Craftsman 3 Blocks to Downtown

Remodeled to meet modern needs while retaining charming Craftsman appeal, this home is move-in ready thanks to extensive updates enhanced by designer finishes. The home shines beginning with the white picket-fenced front yard and welcoming Craftsman-style porch with new exterior paint and contrasting trim. Fresh touches continue in the living room with newly refinished hardwood floors that extend throughout every room of the home combined with of-the-era-style glass doorknobs, hardware, and frosted glass light fixtures. The renovated kitchen features all-white cabinetry, subway-set tiled backsplashes, and gleaming granite countertops, illuminated by new French doors that open out to the spacious rear deck for al fresco dining. There are two privately located bedrooms, each updated in a soft neutral color palette with crisp white picture rail crown molding and served by a remodeled, granite-appointed bath. Outside, the freshly landscaped private rear yard offers room for gardening, relaxation, and entertaining. Rounding out the amenities is the home’s ever-so-convenient location, just 3 blocks to shopping, dining, and Caltrain in vibrant downtown San Mateo, one-half mile to San Mateo Central Park, and less than one mile to Highway 101 for easy access to tech centers in San Francisco or Silicon Valley. Property is zoned R3. Possibility to build up to four 1,000 s/f units on site; buyers shall investigate with the City of San Mateo what may or may not be possible to build.

San Mateo

Hayward Park

Prices range from $1.3 million all the way up to $3 million-plus, with the sweet spot being in the $1.3 to $1.8 million range. Hayward Park has another perk to draw homebuyers: its own CalTrain station. The Hayward Park station is at Leslie and Gum Streets, at the neighborhood’s western border. Neighborhood children attend Sunnybrae Elementary School, Borel Middle School and Aragon High School. While it’s not clear whether today’s Hayward Park is populated by “professional men of refinement and intellect,” the convenient, affordable and attractive neighborhood is again a rising star in San Mateo.

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.

Explore San Mateo

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.
