About This Home
4 Bed | 2 Bath | 2,030 Sq. Feet* | 10,924 Sq. Ft. Lot*
Lovers of mid-century style will be captivated by this home’s complete transformation and its serene, private setting in the sought-after Highlands neighborhood. Signature Eichler elements remain central to the design, including vaulted, beamed and paneled ceilings, entire walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, and a remarkable connection between indoors and out. Extensively transformed circa 2018, the home has been reimagined with a modern open-concept design, gorgeous wide plank white oak floors in every room, and sophisticated finishes throughout.
The spacious living room is wrapped in glass and anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling white brick gas fireplace. The dining room continues the connection to the outdoors and is open to the skylit designer kitchen, beautifully appointed with grey cabinetry, marble-style quartz, a large island with seating, and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances.
Four bedrooms include a large luxurious primary suite with a fully custom walk-in closet and a beautifully remodeled bath with curbless rain shower. Both bathrooms have a decidedly luxe aesthetic with heated floors, quartz-topped dual-sink vanities, electric skylights, washlet toilets, and frameless glass showers — plus a freestanding tub in the hallway bath.
Outdoor living is equally compelling. Ensconced in lush, mature foliage on an extra-large corner lot raised from the street, the home enjoys exceptional privacy and multiple venues for outdoor enjoyment. At the front, an expansive fully enclosed deck and patio is sheltered beneath a towering Pacific Madrone tree, with vistas extending to the East Bay hills. Wraparound landscaped grounds continue with lawn, a covered wraparound walkway, and perimeter foliage and fencing for added privacy.
A finished 2-car garage with ample built-in storage and electric vehicle charger adds convenience along with the home’s central heating and air conditioning. Adding to the appeal is the nearby Highlands Recreation Center, which offers exceptional amenities including a pool, clubhouse, gym, tennis/pickleball courts, and a playground. Highlands Elementary School is just up the street along with buses to San Mateo’s acclaimed Aragon High School, with nearby access to Interstate 280 and Highway 92 that allow for convenient trips to the city, airport, and coast.
