Modern Open Floorplan Soars with Architectural Drama and Vistas

A rare chance to capture the best of Hillsborough Prestige in three dazzling movements: “Down to the Studs” Modern Interior of 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, boasting ceiling heights up to 15 feet, with wide-open flow of space…Legendary Hillsborough privacy and natural greenbelt vistas…Indoor/Outdoor livability on large .70 Acre lot with epic view decks and lower level soccer field/pool site.

A stone’s throw from eight-figure estates, this Carolands retreat matches an iconic view setting with the dynamics of “like-new” living. The home was totally rebuilt down to the studs in 2007 resulting in dramatic open spaces. Think sleek and savvy, right at home for a company founder or cosmopolitan connoisseur! Oversized gathering meccas merge together while taking in streams of sunlight and vast canyon views. Your first impression of the interior is the lack of walls, emphasizing airy openness beneath ceilings that rise up to 15 feet. Designer detail abounds beginning with the stone-floored entrance hall that sets the tone. Two separate Great Rooms, the Living/Dining Great Room (12 ft. ceiling peak) and the Kitchen/Family Great Room, (15 ft. ceiling peak) form a dynamic sequence for entertaining. The Living/Dining, with its loft-like dimensions, will inspire your art collection and extended parties, as sliding doors spill out to the front courtyard. The Kitchen/Family is aglow beneath a 15 ft. ceiling and Wow-Factor wall of glass that infuses the vistas. The blessing and promise of Carolands has always been the scenic topography and woodsy serenity just short minutes up the hill from Burlingame amenities. San Raymundo Road delivers these assets with style. Your daily view is beyond acres of greenery and forested canyons! The Kitchen/Family hub is no exception. Here, a massive island holds center court with bar seating, views, and access to Ipe wood decks for barbecues, parties, or simple Zen reflection.

Just off the kitchen, a separate wing adds all the flexbility for the modern homeowner: a giant glass-wrapped view Office (or 5th bedroom) plus an ideal guest or in-law suite. The east wing at the opposite end of the home provides separation and privacy including two ideal family bedrooms, plus a sensational Primary Suite. At the end of the hall, this Primary Suite received a bounty from the 2007 re-design, including a huge walk-in closet and bedroom with deck and hot tub access. Topped by ceilings of nearly 11 feet, the primary bedroom is generously sized for a seating area overlooking the peaceful greenery.

While the views are majestic and the aesthetic chic, at the end of the day, it will also be the thoroughly modern practicalities of the remodeled design that will win you over: amenities such as a mud room off the garage, a full walk-in pantry, the Primary walk-in closet, built-in kitchen desk, perfect kitchen island, flexbility of Office/5th Bed, and many other features.

Outside, privacy reigns supreme on this oversized parcel of approx. .70 Acre. Multiple destinations await, beginning with the front courtyard terraces where parties can spill out from the living room. More dramatically, the rear decks constructed of premium Ipe Wood survey the canyons and trees. Beyond the decks, the lower terrace is totally flat and usable as soccer field, lacrosse workout, or future pool site. The seclusion is uncanny, yet this retreat is just a few minutes into downtown Burlingame, and short connection onto Highway 280 and the SFO airport. As you cruise the timeless roads nearby, you will pass some of Hillsborough's most elite estates...another reminder of these sought-after environs, the ensemble theme of your Symphony of Sleek...
