Classic Mediterranean styling unfolds beyond a long driveway set down from the street level for the ultimate in privacy. Surprisingly spacious dimensions are revealed inside over three glorious levels with distant views out to the Bay. The palatial dimensions are immediately apparent upon entering the home where a grand receiving salon spans two stories and anchors the mid level of the home. From here, traditional formal rooms extend as well as an inviting family room and tremendous chef’s kitchen. For more casual gatherings, a large recreation/media room is available on the lower level. The home’s personal accommodations of 5 bedrooms, and 5.5 bathrooms begin on the entrance level with a luxurious master suite plus a secondary suite, each with fireplace and private view terrace. Three additional suites are located on the lower-most level, which enjoys easy access to the pool and vast terrace for wonderful outdoor living.

Adding to the appeal of this outstanding residence are the luxuries of 5 fireplaces, a wine cellar lined in brick, and top-of-the-line appliances in the gourmet kitchen – all standing ready for magnificent formal entertaining. Outdoor entertaining and relaxation is equally sublime with vast terraces on every level, each outlined with carved balustrades that exemplify the home’s Mediterranean style. The finishing touch is a sparkling pool on a sun-swept tiled patio for continued outdoor enjoyment. All of this, plus an excellent location that puts shopping and dining in downtown San Mateo or Burlingame close at hand plus access to top-rated Hillsborough schools.
