Architecturally Rebuilt Retreat Walking Distance to Vista Park

Imagine combining your favorite vacation getaways into one charismatic indoor/outdoor lifestyle…all right at home! 855 Longview Road has been beautifully re-imagined and expanded from its 1950s roots into an elevated ranch of supreme entertaining dynamics. From the curb, the home rests at a Bay-View promontory ensconced in mature landscaping and dramatic hardscape. The gentle knolltop elevation heightens privacy, unique garden vignettes, and that away-from-it-all feeling of escape. Hand-quarried Stone facades evoke Tahoe Craftsman, while custom wood carriage doors embellished with climbing vines reflect Napa Valley chic. The details are purely curated, resulting in a custom experience of personality and quality.

Approaching the home, sense of arrival begins through a passage of garden steps. The entry plateau is its own Bay-View terrace, perfect as an outdoor lounge extension of the floorplan beside a sculptural fountain. Stepping inside, the layout flows across one level with scenic outlooks and garden connections. The current owners have expertly expanded a kitchen/family Great Room, as well as an enormous new South Wing with 4^th bedroom suite. Amenities include 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms spanning 3,605 square feet.

Sized for multiple seating zones, the Living Room extends 25 feet across with sweeping views above the Bay. This gathering space is a perfect pivot point for entertaining, as it links with the front terrace lounge as well as the adjacent Dining Room. As a hallmark of living on one level, outdoor access points are plentiful. Imagine your circular table in the Dining Room, which expands out through sliding glass doors to the rear terraces. At the heart of the home, the Kitchen/Family Great Room is a highlight of this architectural remodel. Everything was thoughtfully planned—from island seating, large breakfast nook, built-in Office Desk, wet bar, and extensive custom cabinetry. And best of all, the entire room opens out to party terraces that span the length of the home. These sun-drenched paver stone patios beckon as your “Life of the Party,” with copious space for al fresco dining, large-scale events, and lounging. The total privacy is emphasized by a terraced lawn, mature gardens, and vintage trees.

Bedroom accommodations have been greatly enhanced by the current owners. The creativity of the remodel in Year 2002 included transposing what was once the garage elevation into the new South Wing with Fourth Bedroom Suite. The new 2-car garage was then excavated below it and adorned with custom wood carriage doors. In addition, you will find two more bedrooms, a handy Office Nook, plus the luxurious Master Suite. Master accommodations include a grand-size walk-in closet, direct rear garden access, and roomy bathroom respite with large tub. Not to be forgotten, the south side grounds feature a Zen-inspired Japanese Garden and hidden hot tub with chaise-worthy sun deck.

This Mid South location is a Hillsborough treasure interlaced with legendary streets such as Vista, Culebra, and Chiltern. Backdropped by the Bay, this prestigious pocket of Town boasts some of the elite sales in Hillsborough history. Vista Park, Hillsborough's only park, is just a 7 minute stroll away (0.4 mile), and a mecca for basketball practice, kids' soccer, and playground. Revolving around the park, the community synergy becomes uncanny. The school assignment of South Elementary, along with easy proximity to downtown San Mateo, ensures the best of the Hillsborough experience. You have arrived...
