The great lifestyles always seem to have a universal appeal and purity of function. Here, in the heart of Lower North Hillsborough estate country, we find a smooth single-story design, totally renovated, ready to purvey the universal luxury of the Peninsula. How rare art thou? Let me count the ways...this single-story design is surely scarce at any price point: no stairs to worry about, all remodeled condition, and a 5-bedroom, 4.5 bath floorplan opening out to a flat private garden. These picturesque environs, dappled by vintage oaks and timeless mansions, are within a 30 minute stroll of downtown Burlingame Avenue. 

Architecturally speaking, the design soars with its high ceilings and immaculate finishes. Enter to a lofty lobby of nearly 12 ft. ceilings. The winning combination of hardwood floors, crisp white moldings, and a neutral designer palette warm the impression. Ceilings heights continue to set the tone in the living room and dining room, which each boast 10 ft. 4 inch volume, and are each accented with intricate bay windows. By evening, as your guests settle in by the living room fireplace, the bay windows reveal the front heritage oak tree amidst the delicate glow of strategic garden lighting. Ambiance and a sense of stature beneath the towering ceilings are your lasting memory. 

Function, livability, and strength of floorplan...let us proceed! While the living room and dining room are elegant statement pieces, the west wing of the home facing the rear garden endears with its easy and relaxed flow. The eat-in kitchen stretches over 23 feet deep and merges with a quintessential 19 x 16 family media room. Here, the sunny western infusions warm your afternoons, and direct access to the yard is a dream for small children and pets. The family room also ensures a complete line of sight with the kitchen and architecturally contoured breakfast nook. Note the kitchen's 6 ft. center island, verde marble countertops, appliances by Sub-Zero and Dacor, and cabinetry by Brookhaven. 

The beauty of the absolutely seamless single-story floorplan lies in delivering 5 bedrooms, each with diverse applications. Isolated on the north end of the home, you will find a bedroom en suite that makes the perfect in-law retreat or tucked-away home office. This suite even features a private outside entry from the garden. The south wing hosts four additional bedrooms, including a handy "Jack and Jill," plus additional 4th bedroom, then culminating in the enormous master suite at the end of the hallway. From this master hideaway, you can escape to your own wing: enjoy garden vistas and deck access, along with double walk-in closets, and lavish marble bathroom with full amenities of double-sink vanity, large tub, and oversized shower. 

The convenience of turn-key quality cannot be overemphasized. In our world of riveting deadlines and around-the-clock pressure, you are comforted in knowing this home has been expanded and remodeled, with all of its systems updated, no walls to move, just bring your toothbrush! The layout is modern, effortless, and equally adaptable for adult entertaining or laid-back family life. For those seeking in-home office needs, in-law lodging, or the larger family, the accommodations are optimum as a true five bedroom.

Outside, on a fully landscaped .43 acre, embrace flat and private lands in the great Hillsborough tradition. Western exposure provides back yard brilliance to the decks, newly installed lawns (front and rear), and lovely terraced hillside that will inspire your future ADU.  With its top assignment to North Elementary and Crocker Middle, you are buying into a high-achieving synergy and timeless community. Let the "Rules of Real Estate Attraction" be your guide, there will be no compromise on location, livability, and your immediate enjoyment of a world class Lower Hillsborough lifestyle.
