Behind the gates of Baywood Estates, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath single-family home offers a private, low-maintenance setting just blocks from downtown San Mateo. Newly updated with white French oak engineered hardwood floors, bathroom tile, and new lighting, its 2,170-square-foot interior is designed for entertaining and everyday ease. Soaring ceilings, a statement fireplace, and walls of glass define the dramatic living room, while an adjoining flex room can serve as an office, formal dining room, or sitting room, with the potential to be enclosed in glass. The open floor plan flows into the dining area and beautifully appointed kitchen, where a marble waterfall island creates a natural gathering place. Outside, mature landscaping surrounds an enclosed backyard with a generous patio, outdoor fireplace, hot tub, and dining beneath market lights. Upstairs, the primary suite features a balcony, two custom closets, and a skylit ensuite. The secondary bedroom opens to a terrace and access to a full bath with a steam shower. An attached 2-car garage with EV charging adds convenience. Residents enjoy gated, landscaped grounds, a pool, and clubhouse near Central Park, Caltrain, dining, shopping, and Hillsborough’s scenic lanes.
