Hold onto your top hat and clutch your pearls when you enter this house because you are about to be blown away by captivating architecture and light-filled rooms that will take you back in time with a few modern surprises to add comfort and joy to your life and entertaining.

One enters this stately home by crossing a beautiful front porch with exposed Ipe wood that is bordered by verdant ferns and wisteria. You will immediately appreciate the old world craftsmanship that is abundant throughout the property. The care that has been taken to upgrade and maintain this property is obvious to even the most casual observer.

The large living room has a fireplace and double doors that lead into a formal dining room which opens into the well-appointed kitchen with matching stainless steel, side by side refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. Wood cabinets, custom flooring, a greenhouse window box and dark stone countertops accent the space.

This level also has a bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is a spacious wood paneled laundry room with a stacked washer dryer, laundry sink and generous storage. The long countertop is perfect for folding laundry or to use as a craft area or for entertaining due to the close proximity to the exceptionally landscaped backyard.

Adjacent to the living room is a bright sunroom that would make a wonderful casual eating area, office, children’s playroom or add a foldout couch for a guest space. Upstairs are four bedrooms, the front two have views of San Bruno Mountain. The back bedrooms overlook the stunning backyard, St. Robert’s Steeple and San Bruno City Park. The updated bathroom on this floor has a walk-in shower and custom cabinets.

There is an Ipe deck off the laundry room and wood and brick steps that lead down into a secret garden. Mature trees, a green ivy encircled trellis and brickwork will transport you to a peaceful place where you can entertain or just relax and enjoy the sun. The space has ample room for a patio table and comes with a 6+ person Sundance spa with outdoor lighting and speakers. There are Victorian style stained glass windows inset into a brick wall that affords complete privacy for the yard and spa. No need for a lawnmower, the yard also has synthetic grass. There is a two car detached garage with a wall of base cabinets for storage. The custom lattice gate provides additional privacy for the large hard-scaped driveway/entertaining area that is bordered by mature pomegranate and lemon trees.

This painted lady has a surprise waiting for you in the garden; a fully appointed indoor media room clad in luxurious mahogany with surround sound and a modern gas fireplace! You will be hosting frequent movie nights in this unique space.

When you have to tear yourself away from your antique oasis, the home is close to highways 101, 280, El Camino, SFO and Bayhill Office Park, home of YouTube & the Walmart headquarters. There are several parks close by as well as Green Hills Country Club and downtown San Bruno and Millbrae.

This home and grounds are in immaculate condition with newer paint and whimsical touches. All you need to do is unpack & enjoy!
