Exceptionally rare in every respect, 55 Fagan Drive articulates the ultimate in Lower Hillsborough pedigree and eclectic design.  A tribute to connoisseurship at the highest level, this approx. 7,000+/- sq. ft. 7 bedroom, 4.5 bath home was originally the Carriage House servicing the historic Paul Fagan Mansion. The current owners enlisted legendary designer John Wheatman and architect Bruce Dodd in transforming and expanding the space to the resort-like indoor/outdoor beauty experienced today. The original architect from 1920 was San Francisco’s illustrious Arthur Brown, Jr., who designed the landmark San Francisco City Hall. Steeply pitched rooflines, dormer windows, and half-timbering reflect the tradition of a grand European Manor.

Vistas from every window emphasize the privacy and sheltered maturity of the landscape design by the legendary Thomas Church. Each destination is a true conversation piece: from the main level executive library, to the panoramic window-wrapped “tower room,” and the Old World wine grotto and tasting room. Artisan character reveals itself at every turn. Seamless interaction with the gardens inspires every entertaining scenario. This decidedly rural ambiance takes its place on one of Lower North Hillsborough’s most coveted and rarely available drives. Welcome to Fagan Estates, a world removed in its timeless prestige, yet minutes from downtown Burlingame, San Francisco International Airport, the Financial District, Silicon Valley, and elite Hillsborough schools.
