Welcome to Maison de Jardin at Magnolia Drive...from the heart of the Peninsula, one block to Sunnybrae Elementary, and 4 blocks to the Highway 92 connection, you will feel utterly transported...free to embrace a retreat of character and hidden charms...inspired to manifest a home of privacy and convenience...Enjoy life through the lens of your favorite romantic destinations, whether Carmel, Napa wine country, or Provence, this ambiance is a cut above! Flower boxes, cute window shutters, courtyard vibes, enchanted patios, it's all here...at one of the very best tree-lined blocks of San Mateo's celebrated Sunnybrae. 

Begin with an artistic picket fence and gates that ensconce you and warm your arrival. The front approach comes alive with blooming window boxes, a bubbling wall fountain, and Tiffany-Blue country-style door. Beyond a formal entry with coat closet, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath floorplan flows with Open Concept, and the living/dining great room is treated with updated hardwood floors. Beside the wood-burning fireplace, windows glance out to the rear patio that is nestled in total privacy. Step out to the patio from the dining room through a new breezy French door. Towering hedges shelter the back yard in lovely seclusion...your open invitation to outdoor dining and parties, gardening, or future installation of lawn turf. 

Updates by the current owner include a remodeled chef's kitchen with stone countertops, new cabinets, refrigerator drawers, and other stainless steel appliances. Note the designer colors of the fresh olive cabinetry, and subway tile backsplash that extends all the way to the ceiling. Plenty of space to eat-in with a pub table, bistro table, or future small island solution! The front wing of the home features two bedrooms and a beautifully remodeled hall bathroom. The rear wing of the home features a tucked-away primary suite with its own private bathroom and direct access to the back patio and gardens. Every great home is about "destinations," and Maison de Jardin treasures unique respites from indoors to outdoors. Don't miss...a detached office hidden beyond the gardens and ready for your quiet work-from-home needs! This is the glue that brings the lifestyle together: multi-faceted and modern, yet steeped in a classic tree-lined neighborhood and classic charisma.
