This charming 1940s cottage-style home is situated in a prime location just a short walk from Burlingame Ave 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 & French doors. Appreciate the gleaming hardwood floors, bookcases, & fireplace. Look out over the once beautiful garden/yard waiting to be restored to its former glory. This delightful home has 2 bedrooms, ample closets, a sleek & modern bathroom, fully updated electrical, new lighting, new insulation, & a completed sewer lateral with permits. It also features formal & informal dining areas. The mostly original kitchen includes a vintage Wedgewood range & 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, a cute starter home, and an adorable home for those looking to downsize with the convenience of an easy-living, low-maintenance single-family home without giving up indoor/outdoor living, an attached private garage & its extra storage. NO HOA fees. Commuting is a breeze with both trains/easy access highways.
