Sunrise Views Over a Backyard Wonderland

In this friendly pocket of San Mateo’s Laurelwood neighborhood, 1647 Overland surprises with her understated, manicured street presence and rather serious front door that when open, reveals a home spilling over with warmth and fun. Living spaces are open and comfortable and a remarkable family room/kitchen organizes daily and entertains easily with its flow to the deck and backyard. Four large bedrooms on one level include a private primary suite and one currently finished as a home office. The home’s high ceilings, natural flow between spacious rooms, generous closets and storage, and attached two-car garage were designed for modern functionality, while extensive, high quality remodeling and systems upgrades over the years add a happy hum of efficiency. Solar, upgraded electrical / 200 AMP panel, HVAC, roof, drainage, insulation, security system - everything just “works,” leaving plenty of time to enjoy the peaceful views and private, sheltered backyard wonderland with its waterfall pool and spa. 
 
1647 Overland’s central location connects for both work and play. Laurelwood Shopping Center and popular Laurelwood Park with its hiking trails are just blocks away. Nearby Hillsdale Mall and downtown San Mateo are full of shops and restaurants . The Laurelwood neighborhood is known for its wide, quiet streets, and its flexible mid-Peninsula location near the 92 that makes SFO, San Francisco and Silicon Valley easily accessible.
