Thoughtfully designed, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath San Mateo Village home blends sophisticated upgrades with heartfelt character. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot with mature citrus trees, this home offers exceptional comfort, modern convenience, and timeless style.

Inside, the open-concept layout is bathed in natural light, anchored by a cozy fireplace and framed by large picture windows that overlook the tree-lined street. The spacious great room flows into a formal dining area and a beautifully updated chef’s kitchen with crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and bar seating, perfect for everything from weekday breakfasts to weekend entertaining.

The private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring dual vanities and modern finishes. Throughout the home, custom closet organizers and thoughtfully built-in shelving in the office and laundry room elevate both function and design.

Two of the secondary bedrooms feature hand-painted murals by artist Sneha, one a whimsical dandelion scene inspired by You Are My I Love You, the other a vintage airplane design drawn from a historic patent. These one-of-a-kind spaces reflect the creativity and personal warmth that define this special home.

Step outside to a sun-soaked backyard ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or playing beneath the fruit trees. The mature lemon and orange trees are lush and productive, with additional apple and “candy” pear trees that have been lovingly tended over the years. The front yard tree swing, a fixture of many cherished childhood moments, remains a nostalgic centerpiece.

Modern amenities include a Tesla charger, bolt-and-brace earthquake retrofitting, Nest thermostat and smoke detectors, a smart video doorbell, electronic front door lock, air conditioning, and a full security system (service-ready).

Beyond the home itself, the neighborhood offers a vibrant and welcoming lifestyle. Families enjoy biking, scooting, or walking to nearby parks and playgrounds. The annual 4th of July firetruck parade passes right in front of the house, and Halloween transforms the neighborhood into a festive, fun-filled celebration with spirited decorations and block-wide participation.

The location couldn’t be more convenient, just a short walk to Whole Foods, Hillsdale Caltrain, and a variety of Indian and Mediterranean grocery stores, with Hillsdale Mall, the movie theater, bowling alley, and great dining just minutes away. Quick access to Highways 101 and 92 makes commuting or weekend getaways a breeze.

More than just a property, this is a place where meaningful memories have been made, and where countless more await. A rare opportunity to own a soulful, stylish, and beautifully appointed home in one of San Mateo’s most beloved neighborhoods.
