A Private Garden Retreat in San Mateo Park

Set behind a gated entry in coveted San Mateo Park, 405 Glendale Road is a beautifully updated residence offering exceptional privacy, abundant natural light, and effortless indoor/outdoor living. A spacious front patio welcomes you into warm, inviting interiors filled with expansive windows, skylights, and hardwood floors.

The open-concept main level was thoughtfully designed for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the stunning remodeled kitchen features high-quality white cabinetry, light-toned sueded granite countertops with elegant angled edges, a generous center island, and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, where French doors open directly to the backyard patio and gardens, creating a true great-room experience.

The serene primary suite overlooks the patio and features two closets, including a walk-in closet, along with a luxurious ensuite bath appointed with a double white oak vanity, soaking tub, and spacious walk-in shower.

The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with new hardwood flooring, a large family room, guest bedroom with ensuite bath, spacious laundry room, additional bath, abundant storage, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a private office, fitness studio, playroom, or creative space. Large windows bring in natural light and connect the lower level to the surrounding outdoors. An attached two-car garage provides added convenience.

Outside, the lush grounds were thoughtfully designed to create a peaceful and secluded sanctuary. Rock-wall terraces, layered planting areas, and mature trees provide beauty and privacy, while native landscaping attracts birds, bees, and butterflies. A pergola framed by a cottage rose enhances the gated entrance, and the custom wrought-iron fencing incorporates river-rock detailing for a distinctive Tahoe-inspired feel.

Outdoor lighting highlights the landscape and hardscape across both levels, while thoughtfully designed stairs provide easy access to the enclosed garbage area. One of the home’s most special spaces is the covered rear deck, a private setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying sunsets over the surrounding hills.

Completely updated and beautifully maintained, 405 Glendale Road offers a rare combination of polished interiors, flexible living spaces, enchanting gardens, and exceptional indoor/outdoor flow in one of the Peninsula’s most cherished neighborhoods.
