Reduced! Storybook Meets Savvy!

Geoffrey Nelson Presents...

Discover a warm blend of established tradition and savvy updated atmospheres…all less than five minutes from the most acclaimed schools in the area and the Highway 92 commute connection. Storybook curb appeal begins with the mature gardens, gabled rooflines, and classic front porch. Inside, you are welcomed by a formal entry. The living room is a dramatic gathering space with its barrel-vaulted 9 ft. ceilings, parquet floors, picture window, and custom travertine marble fireplace. Throughout the home you will be treated by streaming natural light and large room sizes that make this home feel generous in every respect. Beautiful hardwood floors enhance the character throughout. The current owners have performed many quality upgrades, including all-new double pane windows, a new furnace, granite slab kitchen countertops, sophisticated bathroom remodel, and more. The bathroom is a luxurious retreat with its marble flooring, contemporary dual-sink vanity, shower, and separate jetted tub. The second bathroom has been incorporated off of the back bedroom creating the perfect guest, in-law, or office accommodation.

Optimum east/west orientations ensure sunny infusions throughout the day. The back bedroom opens through French doors to the artisan stone courtyard patio complete with western exposure, built-in barbecue, and flat lawn areas. This custom-designed landscaping reflects the home’s enduring architectural appeal. At the end of the day, your home is about your lifestyle. San Mateo’s Homestead neighborhood delivers an enviable westside lifestyle on the heart of the Peninsula. Top scoring schools of Baywood Elementary, Borel Middle, and Aragon High are less than five minutes away. For those commuting to either Palo Alto or San Francisco, the Highway 92/280 connection could not be easier! The neighborhood also has a community-minded pulse with easy walkability, and San Mateo’s wealth of downtown amenities not far away.
