This charming 1940's cottage-style home is situated in a prime location— just a short walk from Burlingame Avenue and downtown San Mateo. It offers easy access to trendy shops, restaurants, and transportation in both cities. Enjoy the gated front courtyard and shaded porch. The classic living room is filled with natural sunlight, thanks to the walls of windows and French doors. Appreciate the gleaming hardwood floors, bookcases, and fireplace. Look out over the once beautiful garden/yard waiting to be restored to its former glory. This delightful home has two bedrooms, ample closets, a sleek and modern bathroom, fully updated electrical, new lighting, new insulation, and a completed sewer lateral with permits. It also features formal and informal dining areas. The mostly original kitchen includes a vintage Wedgewood range and adjoins a full-size laundry room with yard access. A designer's touch would bring this kitchen to its full potential. Ideal for those seeking serenity or a cute starter home, this adorable home is also perfect for those looking for the convenience of an easy-living, low-maintenance single-family home for downsizing without giving up indoor/outdoor living, plus a private garage with its extra storage, and no HOA fees. Commuting is a breeze with both trains/easy access highways.
