CHARMING BUNGALOW IN THE VILLAGE
A LOVE LETTER TO 1951. This San Mateo Village bungalow is more than a home; it's a testament to decades of care, enveloped in an enchanted garden, where stone pathways, colorful botanicals, fruit trees, dry creek beds, and a creative cottage capture the essence of this treasured sanctuary.
The interior has been reimagined for modern luxury without losing its historic heartbeat. Refinished oak floors, pristine stone and tile surfaces, vaulted ceilings with skylights, modern lighting, dual-paned windows and freshly painted inside and out—all updates for a modern lifestyle.
The cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout features a living room with fireplace, dining area with French doors opening to the patio and gardens, granite-finished kitchen with dining island and stainless steel appliances, and a private hallway to bedrooms, including the suite with a lofty ceiling, intimate window alcove, walk-in closet and bathroom with elevated soaking tub.
Centrally positioned on the Mid-Peninsula, this quaint residence surrounded by its beloved gardens has been deeply cherished, as is evident in its move-in condition and flourishing grounds.

Property Tour
Neighborhood
One of the largest cities on the San Francisco Peninsula, San Mateo boasts many options for recreation as well as a revitalized downtown, with a large movie theater, restaurants, and bars. Spanish explorers first came to present-day San Mateo on a 1776 scouting trip and named the creek they slept beside San Mateo Creek. In 1863, the railroad arrived in San Mateo, leading some wealthy San Franciscans to build summer and weekend homes in the area.
Today, approximately 100,000 people call the city home. The median household income is $88,000, and the median home value is $722,000 according to 2013 United States Census Bureau data. Of San Mateo’s 40,014 housing units, 54 percent are owner occupied.
The city is home to the Hillsdale Shopping Center and a number of parks -- including Central Park and the Coyote Point Recreation Area. The CuriOdyssey museum at Coyote Point offers science and wildlife exhibits for children and adults, some of which feature live animals. For a breathtakingly beautiful jog, hike, or bicycling outing, locals head to the Sawyer Camp Trail at the Crystal Springs Reservoir.
