Legacy Lands...World Class Potential on 1.07 Acre, All Usable
500 Laurent Road
Mid Century House of Wonders! Full of possibilities and absolutely irreproducible assets, this Hillsborough classic offers an incredible 1.07 ACRE, 100% USABLE LOT! Not something you find every day, maybe only once in a decade! 500 Laurent is now proudly presented to the market commanding 46,783 sq. ft. of nearly level land in preferred Carolands. At the corner of Ralston, shouldering multi-acre eight-figure estates, and drenched in sun!. Walls of glass inside a luminous interior reveal a hidden courtyard pool terrace and pool house Guest Unit. Beyond the pool, an unbelievable surprise awaits: raw untouched land extending all the way back, ready for expansion of the existing home, new construction, tennis court, and future huge ADU. Contemplate the chance of horizon views toward the Bay from your new conception. Sign up for West Elementary, Crocker Middle, or Burlingame High. Manifest your inspiration for a future remodel, expansion, or new construction at these Legacy Lands.
Dreaming #1...
Work with this existing home, mostly on one level, in customizing the finishes and flow for an ultimate indoor/outdoor lifestyle of spacious privacy. Enormous rooms and plenty of natural light will inspire your new vision. The living room spans nearly 30 feet across and will easily host a large dining table for a living/dining ensemble overlooking the pool courtyard. The oversized Eat-in Kitchen is already massive and flowing, just imagine opening it up further by removing the hidden caretaker's suite. By removing the caretaker's suite, your dimensions expand magnificently for the modern Kitchen/Family Great Room. Off of the Foyer, two bedrooms and a hall bath are ideal office or family retreats. Remember, when this home was first built in 1948, the home ended before the current primary suite. In 1996, the owner added an extra primary suite beyond the original, thus creating a full wing comprised of "primary sitting room" (which was the original primary suite) and a deluxe new Primary Retreat with extensive new wardrobes, dual bathrooms, and large sun deck accessing the open orchard lands. Across the pool courtyard, you still have a 645 sq. ft. pool house ready as guest quarters or full future ADU. The outdoor paradise is intact with a 20 x 40 sunny pool, but imagine opening up the courtyard walls to interact with the vast expanses of rear land!
Dreaming #2...
All of the above on Dreaming #1, but why not build a partial second story that will gaze out toward the East Bay Hills and Bay?! With an architect's eye for new hallways and staircase, imagine a top floor addition to the existing Primary Suite. This could push the main home footage to 5,000 and handsomely present some sky-high views to your new Office, Gym, or new Primary Retreat.
Dreaming All the Way...
With the supreme quality of this 1.07 Acre Lot and its estate-caliber Carolands location, it boasts unlimited potential for a new construction from the ground up. Upon tearing down the existing home, imagine the footprint of the new main home encompassing the entire building pad including where the pool courtyard currently rests, and then your new pool and ADU behind that, and a tennis court across the back eastern expanse! The math would surely add up for a new estate valued in the $15M-$20M range.
While you cultivate your plans, move in, or rent it out. The existing 4-bedroom main home spans 3,695 sq. ft, plus a 645 sq. ft. guest unit for a total of 4,340 sq. ft. Contemplate the possibility of eastern horizon views toward the Bay from your new conception. Sign up for award-winning West Elementary, Crocker Middle, or Burlingame High. Manifest your inspiration for a future remodel or new construction at these Legacy Lands...
