Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1956, the property shows significant interior updates including modern hardwood and laminate flooring, recessed lighting, and dual-pane windows. The interior appears move-in ready and well-maintained, suggesting a comprehensive renovation within the last 5-15 years, though the 60+ year age of the structure and lack of specific system data (HVAC/Electric) keep it from an 'Excellent' rating.
Situated just steps from Parkside Aquatic Park and Joinville Swim Center, the property offers rare beach access and exceptional outdoor lifestyle amenities within walking distance.
The home provides immediate access to Highways 101 and 92, offering a central Peninsula location that ensures a seamless commute to both San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
The property is zoned for the highly-regarded Aragon High School (Rating 8), a major draw for families that supports long-term property value and desirability.
There is a significant discrepancy between the county records (1,150 sqft) and the actual living space (1,813 sqft), which may present challenges with appraisals, financing, and permit verification.
While the high school is excellent, the local elementary schools (rated 2/10 and 4/10) may be a deterrent for buyers with young children seeking a high-performing primary education path.
Nestled in the desirable Parkside neighborhood, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is waiting for you. This fabulous mid-century property has lots of charm! Please note that the county records recognize that the property is a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, but the square footage was never updated with the county. The floor plan shows that the home is approximately 1,813 square feet. Parkside Aquatic Park is just steps away and offers beach access and fun for the whole family. This home is also within walking distance to award-winning San Mateo schools, Bayside/Joinville Park, and the Joinville Swim Center. Embrace the local lifestyle with ease, as Bridgepoint Shopping Center and downtown are moments away, offering great restaurants, shops, and entertainment. 101 and 92 are easily accessible, making commuting and enjoying all the Peninsula has to offer a breeze!
