Remarks

Set behind private gates in coveted Lower Hillsborough, this French-inspired estate blends timeless architecture with gracious spaces for everyday living and entertaining. A slate roof and architectural details introduce the home, while a grand entry with a sweeping curved staircase creates a memorable arrival. Elegant formal living and dining rooms are complemented by four fireplaces and an inviting library with custom built-in shelving. The kitchen features a Wolf range and opens to the spacious family room, creating a comfortable gathering place at the heart of the home. Soaring ceilings, Caribbean pine flooring, and travertine finishes add warmth and character throughout. The expansive primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a soaking tub and appointed bath. Outside, landscaped grounds provide inviting spaces for relaxation and entertaining, with the gentle sounds of nearby San Mateo Creek creating a tranquil natural backdrop. Ideally located just minutes from the downtowns of Burlingame and San Mateo, with their dining, boutique shopping, and entertainment, the property offers easy access to excellent schools, major commute routes, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley. A rare opportunity to experience refined living in one of the Peninsula's most desirable neighborhoods.
