The great lifestyles always seem to have a universal appeal and purity of function. Here, in the heart of Lower North Hillsborough estate country, we find a smooth single-story design, totally renovated, ready to purvey the universal luxury of the Peninsula. How rare art thou? Let me count the ways...this single-story design is surely scarce at any price point: no stairs to worry about, all remodeled condition, and a 5-bedroom, 4.5 bath floorplan opening out to a flat private garden. These picturesque environs, dappled by vintage oaks and timeless mansions, are within a 30 minute stroll of downtown Burlingame Avenue. 

Architecturally speaking, the design soars with its high ceilings and immaculate finishes. Enter to a lofty lobby of nearly 12 ft. ceilings. The winning combination of hardwood floors, crisp white moldings, and a neutral designer palette warm the impression. Ceilings heights continue to set the tone in the living room and dining room, which each boast 10 ft. 4 inch volume, and are each accented with intricate bay windows. By evening, as your guests settle in by the living room fireplace, the bay windows reveal the front heritage oak tree glowing with the delicate interactions of strategic garden lighting. Ambiance and a sense of stature beneath the towering ceilings are your lasting memory. 

Function, livability, and strength of floorplan...let us proceed! While the living room and dining room are elegant statement pieces, the west wing of the home facing the rear garden endears with its easy and relaxed flow. The eat-in kitchen stretches 25 feet deep and merges with a quintessential 19 x 16 family media room. Here, the sunny western infusions warm your afternoons, and direct access to the yard is a dream for small children and pets. The family room also ensures a complete line of sight with the kitchen and architecturally contoured breakfast nook. Note the kitchen's ___ft. center island, verde marble countertops, and cabinetry by Brookhaven. 

The beauty of the absolutely seamless single-story floorplan lies in delivering 5 bedrooms, each with diverse applications. Isolated on the north end of the home, you will find a bedroom en suite that makes the perfect in-law retreat or tucked-away home office. The south wing hosts four additional bedrooms, including a handy "Jack and Jill," plus additional 4th bedroom, then culminating in the enormous master suite at the end of the hallway.
