This picture-perfect home in the highly desirable San Mateo Village neighborhood has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its timeless character. Set on a lot of approximately 5,000 square feet, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath home begins with a herringbone brick walkway that continues up to a welcoming covered front porch overlooking the sidewalk-lined neighborhood. Refreshed landscaping is low maintenance with raised beds perfect for flowers or vegetables. The home’s fresh exterior paint, in a palette of crisp white with ebony trim, complements the freshly painted interiors. Refinished hardwood floors, crown moldings, and recessed lighting unify the entire home, creating a warm and cohesive ambiance throughout. 

The spacious living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace outlined in natural brick and surrounded by a traditional carved mantelpiece. A designated dining area, defined by a front-facing window and contemporary 5-light chandelier, adjoins the remodeled kitchen which has open breakfast bar seating. Ample cabinetry in a soft painted hue is topped with light granite counters and subway tile backsplashes with a glass mosaic feature strip for subtle style and coordination with the pendant lights above the breakfast bar. Stainless steel appliances include a gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator, and a microwave, and a large closet with shelving provides excellent pantry storage. 

Two well-sized bedrooms feature ceiling lights and wonderful custom closet organizers, and the full bath has been beautifully updated with beadboard wainscot, a hex tile floor, pedestal sink, and a glass-enclosed shower over tub surrounded by tile. The attached 1-car garage includes a laundry area with washer and dryer plus access to the expansive rear yard with multiple patio areas, lawn, and lush perimeter foliage. Located minutes from Hillsdale Shopping Center, Bay Meadows, Caltrain, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and neighborhood parks, this home also benefits from easy access to Highway 101 to San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
