Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1957, this 67-year-old home is well-maintained but dated. While it features updated dual-pane windows and clean hardwood floors, the kitchen and bathrooms are original or aged, as evidenced by the 'functional' description and 'opportunity to customize' phrasing. It is move-in ready but requires cosmetic and likely system updates.
Middle School: Ralston Intermediate School (9/10). High School: Carlmont High School (9/10).
Perched atop a hillside, the property offers breathtaking, unobstructed vistas of the San Francisco Bay, East Bay Hills, and the city skyline, significantly enhancing its market value.
Situated in the highly sought-after Westwood Knolls neighborhood, the home benefits from a tranquil, charming setting in one of San Mateo's most desirable residential enclaves.
Marketed as an opportunity to customize and create a 'personalized sanctuary,' the home likely requires significant cosmetic or functional updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet modern luxury standards.
