A Breathtaking Architectural Experience

Originally designed by prominent local architect Leo Sharps in 1941, this neo-colonial home is situated on a sprawling oversized lot surrounded by extensive lawns and mature trees. The property features an extended garden, hedge and tree lined driveway anchored by oak and redwood trees. The instant impression is one of serene beauty with a storybook feel, beckoning visitors with its welcoming ambience.

Effortless Entertaining Extending Indoors and Out

This home was built for family living and to welcome and entertain friends and guests with its seamless flow throughout the interior and between the indoor and outdoor living areas.

Just past the charming covered front porch, the grandeur unfolds. The spacious

reception hall features a dramatic turned staircase while the original oak hardwood floors lead to generously-sized main rooms. Classic architectural details from decorative moldings to marble fireplace surrounds add traditional accents to open, airy spaces.

At the heart of the home rests the enormous living room boasting a wall of French windows which flood the interior with abundant natural light. The living room fireplace is accented by a marble surround and mantle-piece from the property’s original house. Intricate crown moldings and a built-in bookcase add undeniable sophistication to this room. The room’s more than ample size lends itself to multiple seating arrangements. French doors open to the blissful patio for al fresco dining, cocktail parties, or peaceful outdoor pleasure.

The living room flows to an inviting game room/den/office room through wide, pocket French doors and lovely blonde wood paneled walls. This room features gorgeous parquet floors, a fabulous oversized bay window, fireplace and easy access to the lawn and courtyard patio through additional French doors. It serves as an extension to the living room for parties and special occasions.

The spacious eat-in kitchen features a lovely open floor plan offering a sunny breakfast nook and adjoining butler’s pantry that connects to the elegant formal dining room. The dining room features decorative moldings, wainscoting, fireplace and a bay window. It is perfect for hosting holiday and formal occasions as well as sit down dinners with your family.

Richly Appointed, Exceptionally Designed

Eight well-proportioned bedrooms comprise the sleeping quarters, 2 of which are on the main level, with the remaining 6 upstairs. Four of the bedrooms are en-suite with private baths, including the divine master retreat. The upstairs is accessible by front and back stairways and also features hardwood floors throughout.

When it’s time to unwind, embrace the calm and serenity of the tranquil master featuring a secluded, oversized bedroom, anchored by a fireplace flanked by French doors opening to separate Juliet balconies overlooking the backyard. The master features a walk-in dressing room with three closets and a second spacious closet with additional storage.

A bonus craft room can serve as a ninth bedroom if so desired, and the workshop with its added storage is ideal for hobbyists or as an office. On the finished lower level, the whole family will love the unique recreation room outfitted with a delightful one lane bowling alley! Here storage space abounds as well!

Remarkably Private and Secluded Outdoor Oasis

Outside, indulge in your very own private oasis highlighted by an extensive lawn, swimming pool, and private tennis court. A convenient pool house with his and hers changing rooms, two bathrooms and two showers add to the amenities. The fenced pool area offers additional seating, entertainment space and separate lawn area. Splash around in the pool, play a few sets, or take a stroll to the greenhouse and tend to your plants. Every amenity is yours, from the spacious lawns, great for kids and pets, a courtyard patio for relaxing, to the generous 3-car-garage

Highly Desirable Locale

This wonderful home stands on the largest lot in the highly sought after San Mateo Park neighborhood. As one of the area’s most exclusive enclaves, San Mateo Park was created in the style of the “City Beautiful” movement. This made way for the neighborhood’s serene and elegant feel with stately homes set back on gracious wooded lots. The prime location makes for convenient shopping and dining on Burlingame Avenue, less than one mile away, while El Camino Real, on the eastern border of San Mateo Park, provides quick access to freeways and commuter routes traveling both north and south. The rich historic feel and peaceful atmosphere of the neighborhood are a big draw for families looking to own a slice of paradise just 20 miles south of downtown San Francisco.
