About this property
The small Brewer Subdivision/Upland neighborhood is located between El Cerrito Avenue to the North and Crystal Springs Roads to the South. What sets it apart from other Hillsborough neighborhoods is that, although it is as leafy and private as anywhere in the town, residents are less than a mile from the vibrant downtown of San Mateo.
Grand estate has been completely remodeled from the studs out and now provides the charm and elegance of a 19th century manor combined with 21st century high-tech features such as wi-fi controls for the recessed lighting and security and speakers inset into the ceilings.
Fenced and gated home is approached via an iron gate and a long, paved driveway to the large forecourt. The formal entry has glass double doors with wrought iron inserts that lead to a bright open foyer with a dining room to one side and living room to the other. Ahead, a staircase curves gracefully through 90 degrees to the upper floor.
Living room is lit by abundant daylight from the French doors along one wall. A classical fireplace design holds a new fireplace insert. Beyond the living room is a den that once served as an atrium. Now it is a cozy and inviting room with picture windows revealing the lush landscaping and sparkling pool.
A few steps down from the den is a stunning great room that could easily serve as a ballroom. The large room has a fireplace, French doors down one side, an elegant, carved wood beamed ceiling with modern lighting inset, a wet bar with beautiful antique wood furnishings and a stain glass lighting panel, and handsome antique carved wood doors and panels.
To the other side of the entrance foyer is a formal dining room and beyond that, an architectural gem, a tea room with an art deco stain glass dome set in an octagonal frame. To complete the ground floor is a gleaming, all new professional caterers’ kitchen, perfect for intimate family gatherings or for entertaining large groups. The large space contains a breakfast nook and a comfortable family room with a modern fireplace and surround.
Luxurious master bedroom suite on the second floor has a separate sun room, giant walk-in closet, office, and a gleaming bathroom with white counter tops, marble tub and shower and, the original 19th century arched windows. Additional bedrooms on this floor are en-suite with two others sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Also on this floor, is a spacious game room.
On the upper floor of this home is a wood paneled attic, and two more bedrooms that share a full bathroom.
This offering is rounded out by level grounds with lush new landscaping, a sparkling pool and a newly laid tennis court.
