Rare to the market, this thoroughly expanded and updated Aragon classic takes its place on one of San Mateo’s very best streets. Radiant with Monterey Colonial romance, the home bespeaks architectural quality and sheer livability throughout approx. 2,620 sq. ft. Four bedrooms and three full bathrooms compose a two story floorplan that flows from cool refinement to life-of-the-party open gathering spots…all with a timeless ease and fluidity from home to garden. Recently refinished hardwood floors set the tone of warmth. The handsomely proportioned formal living and dining rooms precede the home’s tour de force: an enormous kitchen/family great room spanning the home’s south wing with garden access. Here, walls of windows and French doors bring the outdoors in, and emphasize the huge open dimensions complete with island, large breakfast nook, and family media center with fireplace. Truly the most in-demand floorplan asset, this open gathering destination will express the best of “where you live.” Also on the main level, a tucked-away bedroom (with adjacent full bath) is built-out with workstations and library shelving to inspire the guest haven or secluded office.  Upstairs, the symmetry of the layout lends convenience and modern luxury. Two front bedrooms overflow with the character of the architecture, boasting a step-out veranda taking you back in time to relaxed French country ambiance. At the rear of the upper level, the expanded master suite commands its own wing. The grand dimensions afford a garden-view sitting area, posh retreat space, walk-in closet, and spa-like master bath.

Defining Aragon at its finest, this Castilian Way address also includes a remarkable south garden, walking distance to downtown San Mateo, and acclaimed Baywood Elementary and Aragon High. Truly one of the classic, most well-established enclaves of the San Francisco Peninsula, Aragon is a suburban jewel planned with wide boulevards, nostalgic lamp posts, and towering sycamores that shade the sidewalks. For your own experience of the neighborhood, enjoy a stroll amidst this architectural treasure trove. Take in this esteemed ambiance and quiet desirability that embody a rich tradition…in a word... timeless.
