Set just above street level with a wide stance on a tree-lined lot, the home is framed by elegant landscaping and a long, gated driveway. Carved stonework, brick steps, and a covered entrance guide you to a carved wood door, flanked by tall sidelights that usher in natural light.

Inside, a formal foyer sets the tone with timeless terracotta tile, a curved staircase, and immediate views into the home’s most striking formal spaces. The living room is anchored by exposed ceiling beams and a fireplace with lighted, gold-leafed mantle detail, while a grand chandelier casts light across herringbone-patterned hardwood flooring. Across the foyer, the formal dining room offers an equally refined atmosphere, with parquet floors, panel molding, and space to seat 14—a favorite for memorable grand meals and holiday celebrations.

The kitchen and breakfast area have been thoughtfully redesigned to create an open, functional gathering space. Custom cabinetry, new hardware, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances from Bosch and Thermador provide modern function with elevated style. A central island and built-in buffet offer practical beauty, while updated oak hardwoods run underfoot.

At the rear of the home, a large family room is framed by a 14-foot sliding door that invites light and opens this room to the backyard. A space made for relaxing or entertaining, this room’s western exposure provides warm afternoon sun and glowing sunset color.

Outside, the backyard offers a generous patio and green lawn, perfect for warm-weather gatherings or quiet weekends at home. Manicured planting beds and mature trees provide privacy and beauty, with room to play or garden.

The main level also includes a guest bedroom with easy access to a full bathroom, flexible in its use as a guest suite or office, as well as interior garage access and a spacious laundry area.

Upstairs, the entire layout has been reimagined. The primary suite is a true retreat, with two separate closets (including a walk-in), and a luxurious en suite bath featuring Calacatta marble floors, floating white oak vanity, quartz-tiled shower, brushed gold hardware, and a freestanding soaking tub. Two secondary bedrooms, both spacious and filled with light, share a tastefully updated hallway bath with stacked porcelain tile and sleek modern fixtures.

Every detail of the renovation has been carefully executed: new plumbing, HVAC, ducting, recessed lighting, 220 amp electrical panel, and updated drainage and landscaping. Fresh interior and exterior paint unify the classic architecture with a refreshed, contemporary finish.

Perfectly placed within Baywood, this home offers easy access to downtown San Mateo’s shops and dining, top-rated Baywood Elementary and Aragon High, and proximity to Caltrain, Highway 92, and the Peninsula’s major employers. This is a home of presence and practicality—refined, relaxed, and ready for life.
