LOWER SOUTH CHALET: ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE MEETS FAMILY WARMTH
5 Bed 4 .5 Bath 4,150 Sq. Ft. Living Area 0.45 Acre Lot
Homes are simply not built with this high style anymore! A rarity to the market, this is an architecturally significant statement equally at home as a fine art gallery or warm and cozy family retreat. Sophistication cascades throughout truly ENORMOUS room sizes, while never compromising daily function and inviting indoor/outdoor character. Here, in the heart of Lower South Hillsborough, we celebrate one of the San Francisco Peninsula's ultimate luxury enclaves, a neighborhood that ranks within the Top 10 on median sales price in the entire United States...decade after decade. Whether you are around the corner from $18,000,000 estates, or less than a mile from Crystal Springs Uplands School, and just 1.2 mile from South Elementary, your center of the universe could not be more distinguished or convenient!
The romance of the Chalet, rustic charm with contemporary features, is an appropriate theme: sequestered within noble trees, imbued with the spirit of a special-occasion getaway, and arresting in its design flair, this is the home that becomes a conversation piece. Stepping through gates to the entry courtyard, sentinel redwoods frame a front facade of gabled rooflines and Craftsman roof articulations. This is your Chalet...ready to impress, ready to comfort, ready to be your escape from the bustle of real-world pressures. Before you enter through the double doors, glance to your left at the turquoise waters of the pool, or to your to your right to tree-shaded open gardens that seem forgotten by time. You are at the corner of Glendale Road and famed West Santa Inez Avenue, long heralded as "Mansion Row" and one of the top streets in all of Hillsborough.
A magnificent prelude, step inside to a lobby of 17 foot ceilings that is a composition unto itself. The intricate hardwood floor inlay introduces the attention to detail. The living room showcases the Mid Century Modern bon vivant with its wall of glass and vast volume of 25 x 18. Volume is an enduring theme, as this home measures 4,150 sq. ft. of living, with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, not to mention its otherworldly 4-car attached garage.
