Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a beautifully remodeled, move-in-ready Eichler in the heart of San Mateo's sought-after 19th Avenue Park neighborhood—one of the Peninsula's most celebrated mid-century modern communities. Built during Joseph Eichler's pioneering era of residential design, homes in this neighborhood reflect a philosophy that revolutionized post-war architecture: open floor plans, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and a modern aesthetic that remains timeless today.

This light-filled residence honors that architectural heritage while thoughtfully incorporating contemporary upgrades designed for modern living. Clean rooflines, walls of glass, and classic post-and-beam construction create a striking first impression, while the home's open layout allows natural light to flow effortlessly throughout the living spaces. The central living and dining areas connect seamlessly to a beautifully remodeled kitchen, creating a natural gathering place for everyday life and entertaining. Updated bathrooms complement the home's design, while engineered hardwood flooring and dual-pane windows enhance both comfort and efficiency.

Energy performance and sustainability, including whole-home electrification, have been carefully considered with the foam roof, heat pumps, and the addition of an owned solar system paired with three Tesla Powerwalls, providing both energy independence and long-term efficiency. These thoughtful improvements bring modern convenience while preserving the home's architectural integrity.

The home offers a spacious primary suite with an ensuite bath that provides a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. The fourth bedroom is currently open to the main living area, creating an airy, flexible space that enhances the home's openness and flow while remaining easy to convert back into a private bedroom if desired.

True to Eichler's original vision of indoor-outdoor living, the home features floor-to-ceiling glass and three sliding doors that open to a generous patio—perfect for hosting gatherings, enjoying warm Peninsula evenings, or simply relaxing outdoors. The large backyard extends the living space even further, offering room for play, gardening, pets, and outdoor entertaining.

Located in the desirable 19th Avenue Park Eichler neighborhood, this home is part of one of San Mateo's most architecturally significant communities. Developed in the mid-1950s by Joseph Eichler and designed by the renowned architectural firm Anshen & Allen, the neighborhood is known for its distinctive mid-century homes, tree-lined streets, and strong sense of community. Buyers are drawn to the neighborhood for its authentic Eichler architecture, quiet residential setting, and proximity to some of the Peninsula's most convenient amenities.

The location offers exceptional access to everything the Peninsula has to offer. Hillsdale Shopping Center, downtown San Mateo, and a
