First time on the market in over 35 years! From the welcoming front porch to the expansive backyard deck, this charming home offers a warmth and character that feels increasingly rare. Lovingly maintained, this single-level residence features inviting living spaces, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a fireplace-centered living room, a sunroom retreat, and a spacious primary suite with its own fireplace. The kitchen shines with sleek quartz countertops and a suite of brand-new stainless steel appliances, creating a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful. A detached cottage tucked toward the rear of the property adds flexibility and separation from the main residence, while the backyard deck provides an ideal setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying time at home. Ideally located near Hillsdale Shopping Center, Caltrain, parks, dining, and major commute routes, this special property offers a unique blend of charm, convenience, and opportunity in a sought-after San Mateo neighborhood.
