~ GARDEN PARTY INVITE ~
SOFTLY SLEEK, SERENELY STYLISH
Encircled by its wraparound garden, at 645 Barneson, the doors are always open and fresh air carrying the scent-of-the-moment is an everyday companion. Summer is a cocktail of lavender, pomegranate, mint and roses; winter is citrus and slippery raindrops riding evergreen slides. Modern in floor plan and function, this single level home has an open living area with new, wide-plank blonde hardwood floors and a sleek, stylishly remodeled kitchen. Three generous bedrooms share two remodeled baths, and an additional bonus space can be an office, playroom, or room for guests. A large laundry-mudroom catches the muddy shoes, backpacks, and pocket treasures of daily life. Multiple doors connect to the integrated outside living spaces: shade and swing time on the front porch, summer movie nights on the patio, croquet and lawn bowling tournaments, and every fence and path a creative canvas for colorful chalk scribbles and games of hopscotch and tic tac toe.
San Mateo attracts with its great weather, desirable schools, multiple shopping and dining hubs, community parks and events, access to Caltrain, and proximity to major commute routes and SFO. 645 Barneson is exceptionally well located just off Highway 92, the key connector linking the 101 and 280 freeways. There are multiple parks nearby and the south access to Sawyer Camp Trail is just a few minutes away by car.;In addition to the main San Mateo downtown area, Hillsdale Shopping Center to the south has been recently reopened and reimagined.
