Town pioneer George Howard Jr. designed 1 Homs Court across the street in the early 1900s. Howard also designed the San Mateo/Burlingame Polo Club building at 252 El Cerrito in 1907, which today exists as the Hillsborough Racquet Club. In the early 1900s, the Homs Court lands were an El Cerrito address near the polo and sporting life of early Hillsborough. The estate anchored 3 acres where the current Homs Court cul-de-sac lies, prior to being subdivided by the Homs Family in the late 1970s/early 1980s. 2 Homs Court was custom built in 1986 with design by San Francisco's House & House Architects.

A monumental conversation piece, the two-story Grand Salon takes entertaining to new heights with ceilings exceeding 23 feet! Soaring with drama and custom quality, the floorplan offers the bespoke architectural framework designers drool over: Ten Foot ceilings on the main level, plenty of volume and light, and indoor/outdoor interactions with a flat lot. Creative potential abounds, such as opening the Kitchen and Family Room into one giant Great Room, or imagining a new ADU on the 33,976 sq. ft. 100% usable grounds..."Home as Canvas."

Past, present, and future, 2 Homs Court stands unmistakable and irreproducible--a residential work of art poised for its next chapter at one of Hillsborough's very best locations. The glamour and contemporary artistry are not soon forgotten. From coveted Lower South Hillsborough, the estate is shouldered by other architecturally significant estates..."roll out of bed" to South Elementary School, and just minutes to Crystal Springs Uplands School, and downtown San Mateo and Burlingame.
