Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1949, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with significant recent system upgrades including a new HVAC system and upgraded electrical panel. The interior features refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint, and while the bathroom retains some vintage tiling, it has been updated with a modern vanity and fixtures.
Middle School: Central Middle School (9/10).
The property is situated in a highly sought-after San Carlos neighborhood, offering exceptional walkability to top-rated schools like Central Middle, Burton Park, and the vibrant downtown dining and shopping district.
Significant capital improvements, including a new central heating and air conditioning system and an upgraded electrical panel, provide modern efficiency and comfort rarely found in homes of this vintage.
With four bedrooms configured within 1,590 square feet, the individual room sizes or common living areas may feel somewhat constrained for buyers seeking more expansive indoor proportions.
The 5,194 square foot lot is relatively small for the $2.8M price point, which may limit future expansion possibilities or extensive gardening and play areas compared to larger parcels in the area.
Located in one of San Carlos' most sought-after neighborhoods, this thoughtfully updated residence blends timeless appeal with meaningful improvements for today's lifestyle. Recent upgrades include a new central heat and air & an upgraded electrical panel for enhanced comfort and efficiency. Refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The living room is anchored by a fireplace & large picture windows, while the formal dining room opens to the backyard through French doors for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The spacious kitchen offers generous counter space, abundant cabinetry & breakfast nook for everyday dining. The oversized primary bed features direct backyard access, while three additional beds provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. An attached garage with epoxy-finished floor adds functionality. The private backyard offers an inviting setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening or relaxing. Walk to highly regarded Brittan Acres Elementary & Central Middle School. Ideally located near Burton Park, vibrant downtown San Carlos, shopping, dining, CalTrain & major commute routes, with convenient access to both SF, Silicon Valley & many of the Peninsula's leading employers.
