Features of the Home
∎
As soon as you enter this home, you will be captivated by the abundance of natural light that streams through the wall of windows in the living and dining rooms. Enjoy the view of the lush rear yard with tastefully designed landscaping and a tall privacy hedge. One of the home's unique and winning features is the amazing backyard. A whimsical vine-covered pergola with cafe lights leads to an expansive, custom-designed, weathered herringbone-brick patio bordered with decomposed granite. It is perfect for relaxing and entertaining, and overlooks the large flat lawn area just steps below, ideal for kids to run and play.
The mix of mid-century elements with traditional character and charm gives this home an indoor-outdoor feel and a welcoming comfort.
The eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, warm wooden cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and an appealing corner window. It is wonderful as is, or could be opened up to the living room to enjoy a more open concept.
The spacious primary bedroom ensuite serves as a private oasis filled with natural light and sweeping sightlines across the lovely backyard. A soothing, peaceful bathroom with blue tile and a pebbled shower floor creates a personal sanctuary. Two additional bedrooms complete the upstairs and are served by an updated hall bathroom.
The bonus space on the lower level is a fabulous addition to the home. It can be used as a family room, playroom, home office, and more! The bedroom and half bathroom are ideal for hosting guests, providing them with some privacy.
“We have loved this home for many reasons! The bonus space has been so great for hosting family
visiting from afar. The backyard has been the best for entertaining as well as for daily playtime for our young children.
The (very fruitful) lemon tree and rosemary bushes, among other mature plants, for home cooking.

We love going on neighborhood strolls along the tree-lined surrounding residential streets with friendly neighbors;
last-minute dinner-prep grocery runs to Dehoff's Market; evening ice cream walks; and enjoying many beautiful,
well-kept parks and playgrounds within walking distance or a few minutes' drive nearby.

about this
Neighborhood
∎
Redwood City occupies a strategic position at the heart of the San Francisco Peninsula, where bay shoreline meets rolling hills. The city's historic claim to climatic excellence, validated by a 1920s international study comparing it to the Canary Islands and Mediterranean Coast (hence the city’s motto, “Climate Best by Government Test"), reflects the consistent pleasant weather that continues to attract residents.
The downtown district exemplifies successful urban renewal, balancing historic architecture with modern amenities. The area serves as both the civic center, housing San Mateo County government facilities, and an entertainment destination with diverse dining and cultural venues. Modern conveniences, including smart parking systems, demonstrate the city's commitment to technological integration.
Distinct neighborhoods create varied living environments within the city limits. Redwood Shores, though geographically separate, forms an important waterfront district housing major technology companies like Oracle Corporation and Electronic Arts. The Emerald Hills area provides elevated residential spaces adjacent to natural preserves, offering hiking trails and panoramic views.
