The Carolands area of Hillsborough began as the circa 1914 500-acre hilltop domain of Harriett Pullman Carolan's magnificent 65,000 sq. ft. chateau. While the authentic French-inspired estate still stands magnificently restored on Craig Road, the true desirability and relevance to homeseekers is now the fabulous livability, lots, and value of this subdivision. West Elementary is centrally located, the Highway 280 commute is a breeze, and the wonderfully spread-out feeling of the sweeping half-acre lots bridges the best of bucolicism and suburban comfort. Â The new listing at 463 Remillard is a unique example for the area. Spanning a .91 acre lot, this circa 1957 ranch has just hit the market at $2,350,000. The Pros: fabulous lot and smooth floorplan, the Cons: really only a 3 bedroom with two bedrooms on the north wing and a smallish guest bedroom on the south wing. The current owners had re-worked the north wing into a larger more deluxe master from what had been the 4th bedroom. For those imagining a future expansion, a 3 minute drive to West Elementary, and a quick connection onto 280, this will be a solid contender.
