This Lower Lakeview location is Hillsborough's best-kept secret. Within a stone's throw of five and six-million-dollar homes, this stretch of Marlborough Road is walking distance to Vista Park and a quick connection onto Highway 280. The timeless hallmarks of Hillsborough are all on display: tree-wrapped privacy, indoor/outdoor recreational living, and a prestigious address with top schools, including preferred West Elementary.

Built in 1955, this floorplan delivers the classic California Dream, greatly modernized by the current owner's recent remodeling throughout 3,670 sq. ft. of living. Blonde hardwood floors, upgraded architectural windows, and raised ceilings define a bright, airy ambiance. Large rooms await easy casual flow, beginning with the oversized living room and dining room. Each of these rooms surveys this area's famous greenbelt vistas and natural environs. Note the dining room's epxanded Bay window nook and built-in niche shelving. Amenities include 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, plus flexilbity for office or gym downstairs.

Moving to the South Wing at the rear of the home, prepare to be amazed by the enormous remodeled chef's kitchen, linked to an equally enormous family Great Room! This sequence forms the heart of the home that interacts with the party patio and pool below. The window-lined kitchen and breakfast area spans 37 feet across with direct access ot the outdoors. The modern hub for the busy family comes alive here: imagine the weekday bustle of getting ready for school, or a quiet Sunday evening of home cooking. Seamlessly just outside the kitchen, the aroma of charcoal glowing beneath the grill promises summer and autumn bliss. A granite-clad island (with second sink and bar seating) anchors the kitchen, which delivers optimum visilibty to both the rear yard and family room.

The Family Great Room is a paragraph unto itself.  A cathedral ceiling rises over 11 feet high, while the room itself is over 25 feet across. Expanded by the current owners, this is a dream gathering space at any price point. Built-in Bowers & Wilkins speakers and pre-wiring for Surround Sound captivate the full media experience. A raised gas fireplace and double French doors to the patio are other key assets. Huge dimensions of the room inspire mutltiple destinations, whether homework stations, Lego nooks, large sectionals, or office needs.

Exploring the grounds of approx. .41 acre, you will appreciate the full usablity and total privacy. The optimum corner orientation includes the yard being adjacent to rarely traveled Cardigan Road, providing an expanded sense of privacy with no neighbors to the rear. An enourmous party terrace of stone pavers awaits al fresco dining, sun lounging, or even a future outdoor kitchen. The pool measures 32 feet long and is sequestered in its own sunny terrace ready for more summer days ahead.

Hillsborough's Lower Lakeview will prove a best-kept secret with its quiet sense of neighborly spirit, and easy ingress/egress to Town and Freeway. Recent sales in the vicinity eclipse six million, which demonstrates even more upside and value to this location. A pleasant stroll leads down to Vista Park. Hillsborough's world-class public schools of West Elementary and Crocker Middle are testaments to this location's enduring appeal...You have arrived
