Savor endless possibilities for indoor/outdoor vitality…The very definition of "Open Floorplan," this San Mateo Terrace home has been totally remodeled inside and out. The architecture is an instant Wow-Factor with its U-Shaped design that revolves around a private central courtyard. Completely renovated less than 3 years ago, this single-level floorplan showcases decidedly modern expressions throughout 2,280 sq. ft. of luxury.

Clean lines surround a seamless flow from indoors to outdoors. The sleek modern details include espresso wood flooring, stone floor tiles, artistic fireplace casements, and custom lighting that evoke a luxury spa ambiance. Nearly every room opens out to the central courtyard. Here, ensconced by privacy and Zen fountains, imagine your next outdoor soiree, kids’ play zone, or after-dinner firepit lounge. The grand living room is a destination unto itself spanning 24 feet and topped by a dramatic raised ceiling. Don’t miss the tucked away home office (also with high ceiling) that makes the perfect “out of sight, out of mind” computer workstation, ready when you need it. Without the interruption of walls, you will transition to the open kitchen/family great room. Combined with the living room, this gives the home a rare advantage of double media rooms, and the chance to interact with the courtyard throughout all of the main living areas. The kitchen comprises a huge island for counter seating. Note the panoramic lines of visibility that enable you to see around the floorplan in unobstructed splendor.

The bedroom wing also includes access to the central courtyard. Two bedrooms share a beautifully executed Jack and Jill bathroom. At the end of the hallway, the master suite has double wardrobe storage, outdoor access and a spa-like bathroom.

Whether it’s the like-new amenities of the recent renovation, or simply the wide-open floorplan, 648 W. Hillsdale stands out in the marketplace as a rare offering.

This "heart of the Peninsula" San Mateo location is nestled between Laurelwood to the west and Beresford Manor to the southeast. From this perch, you are within minutes of Highways 92, 101, Caltrain and the Laurelwood Shopping Center. The current renovation/expansion of the Hillsdale Shopping Center is within walking distance and promises to be a new Peninsula hotspot with its landmark main plaza, resort-style fountain, outdoor dining terrace, and new luxury movie theater.
