Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready with recent cosmetic updates including fresh interior paint and modern wood-look flooring. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated; the kitchen features 1980s/90s-style wood cabinetry and white appliances, while the bathrooms show older tile work and vanities. Built in 1907, the home retains historic charm but the major functional areas have not been renovated within the last 15-30 years, fitting the 'fair' criteria.
Ideally situated near vibrant downtown San Mateo and Burlingame, this property offers exceptional walkability to premium dining, shopping, and Caltrain, making it a commuter's dream.
The large basement and flexible laundry/studio space provide significant value-add opportunities, including the potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a professional home office.
Built in 1907, the home preserves its historic charm with an enclosed porch, elegant built-ins, and a primary suite featuring a classic clawfoot tub, offering a unique aesthetic rarely found in newer builds.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1877, other record living area = 880.

While the high school is highly rated, several of the assigned elementary and middle schools in the immediate area have lower performance scores, which may impact appeal for some families.
