FROM THIS LEGENDARY SAN MATEO PARK LOCATION...you are ensconced beyond three of the neighborhood's famous island roundabouts, less than a mile to downtown Burlingame Avenue! In addition to being a 15 minute walk to Burlingame Avenue, this prime Warren Road location is just 3 blocks to Pershing Park. 

Welcome to San Mateo Park...a destination forgotten by time...aglow in the magic of classic luxury and established prestige since the 1890's. While horse and buggy no longer meander through the tree-studded islands, this enclave still has the feeling of its own arboretum, cascading with architectural jewels and lush gardens. 

343 Warren represents the best of the Park lifestyle. What was once a 1926 Craftsman Bungalow has been transformed and expanded into a luxurious two-story retreat. Enter to a gated and walled garden, where groomed lawns and specimen foliage create usable advantage of the wide corner frontage. The first thing you will notice out front is the columned wraparound porch, like a page out of old Pasadena or Wine Country! A mature wisteria vine interlaces the columned trellis, dappling this area with purple blossoms in Spring. At the side of the house, this veranda makes the perfect spot for summer wine sipping as you overlook the enclosed front lawns and gardens. 

Stepping inside the original 1926 eight-pane front door, charming character sweeps upon you in the Living Room. Note the graceful contours of the coved ceilings. Don't miss the two vintage stained glass windows that infuse western sun in the afternoons. The fireplace has been updated with elegant marble trim and a gas log system. The nearly square formal dining room welcomes your circular designer table, and matches the living room's architecturally sculpted ceiling treatments. French doors swing out to the side veranda, where you can imagine a bartender station or just that perfect party breeze coming in from the gardens. 

An Expanded Kitchen/Family Great Room is the heart of the home. Spanning over 30 feet across of wide open space, the Great Room has been "opened up" and delivers indoor/outdoor flow with luxury detail. A mahogany-topped island measures 7 feet long by 4 feet deep, offering plenty of counter seating for 5. Above the island, operational skylights are recessed into a lofty raised ceiling. The family room allows tons of space for a huge TV, sectional, and has two outdoor access points, one opening to the wraparound veranda porch and lawns, and the second leading to the courtyard and gas Fire Pit. Kitchen amenities include 48 inch Wolf range with 6-burners, center griddle, and double ovens. Other features include Sub-Zero refrigerator, built-in GE microwave, U-Line beverage center within the island, plus a roomy corner Pantry. Off of the kitchen, the Office is a tucked-away Flex space, which could also make a nice overnighter retreat served by the nearby third full bathroom. 

Upstairs, the top floor addition from 2006-2007 was executed with the same warm Craftsman character of the 1920s original. A dreamy Primary Suite features a built-in window seat, crisp white plantation shutters, and French doors opening to a private view balcony. Central AC comforts the Office and Upstairs level on its own independent zone. 

Outside, the current owners have channelled inspirations of Calistoga with a lighted pergola and custom circular gas Fire Pit that define a garden courtyard. Beautifully walled in for barbecues and outdoor dining, this courtyard leads to the adjacent grassy lawns that have been sequestered with a new wall and gate. Imagine expanded children's play, secure space for small dogs, or just that picture-perfect canvas for your green thumb. 

From this ultimate, #1 location of San Mateo Park, you will treasure all the character, lifestyle, and convenience that make "the Park," the most quietly celebrated luxury enclave on the Peninsula....walk to Burlingame Avenue, walk to Pershing Park, come home to the timeless prestige and comforts of San Mateo Park...
