This exceptionally maintained English Tudor-style home offers authentic 1920’s architectural details in a 4 bed, 3 bath layout with a rich heritage of single-family ownership for nearly 90 years. You will be impressed by the original features that have been preserved, including a solid oak front door, broad American brick sitting porch, leaded-glass diamond shaped windows, ornately carved fireplace, divided-light French doors with crystal doorknobs, original hardwood flooring, deep crown and baseboard mouldings, multi-room basement and storage galore.
A formal entry invites light-filled interiors throughout the approx. 2,330 sf floor plan. The grand living room is an elegant place to entertain or relax with an 11-foot vaulted ceiling, a floor-to-ceiling window, stately arches and built-in bookcases. The dining room has new designer lighting and large casement windows with front garden views. A charming butler’s pantry and breakfast nook lead to a spacious kitchen and oversized laundry room (inspiration for a dream kitchen and family room).
The first bedroom suite has an updated bathroom with convenient hall access so it can also serve the living spaces. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a full updated bathroom or can serve as the primary suite with a private sitting room or office/den. One of the highlights of this home is the extensive storage available throughout.
At the back of the level property, you’ll find a delightful and detached ADU/in-law guest house or office space that offers an updated bedroom, separate kitchen and private bathroom. The adjacent 3-car garage has extra space for sports equipment storage, a workshop or a workout area. A unique circular driveway wraps around the entire home and is gated at both ends, providing extra off-street parking and plenty of room for outdoor play and entertaining.
Located in the desirable San Mateo Park neighborhood, on one of its most prestigious streets, this area enjoys a convenient location close to downtown San Mateo and Burlingame Avenue. Storybook Manor is perfect for daily living and celebratory gatherings!
