Welcome to Baywood Haven; located in the sought-after lower Baywood neighborhood in San Mateo and its most esteemed street that puts downtown amenities just blocks away. Surrounded by a sea of some of the finest homes on the mid-Peninsula, this rare jewel stands out as a shining representation of the classic mid-century modern style. Wrapped with tall privacy hedges on a spacious corner lot, the home exudes all the architectural principles of its original 1950 heritage with clean lines and right angles, floor-to-ceiling windows, and minimalist simplicity. But it is a whole home renovation that has transformed these modern roots into luxurious livability.
From the ribbon glass inlays on the door and side light, the modern design unfolds. Fine hardwood floors span the entire home, which is open and inviting, filled with natural light and a free-flowing circulation. A sleek fireplace enhances the ambiance in the living and dining room combination and wine bar seating effortlessly connects the space with the chef’s kitchen. Crisp lacquered white cabinetry in Italian style is topped in quartz and linear mosaic backsplashes. High end appliances by Thermador and Wolf stand ready for the most demanding chef. Connecting with nature is a key value to this architectural style and yet another signature of the home with its French doors in multiple places opening to the grounds, including a central patio that serves as an outdoor living room.
Baywood Haven has three spacious bedrooms and three baths perfectly arranged for the utmost in privacy. Just off the kitchen, a bedroom suite is ideal for guest quarters while the primary suite is privately located at the opposite end of the home along with the third bedroom. Bathrooms are all perfectly finished with cantilevered vanities, terrazzo countertops, and large format floor tiles. Adding to the accommodations is a studio office privately tucked away to one side and perfect for today’s work-from-home needs.
