A Hillsborough Retreat with Endless Bay Views
Secluded and surrounded by mature native trees, this home captures the essence of modern California living and timeless design by renowned architect Angus McSweeney, celebrated for St. Mary’s Cathedral, the St. Francis Yacht Club, and other Bay Area landmarks. His vision—architecture in harmony with nature—shines through every detail.
A grand foyer with a colorful statement door and architectural stairway welcomes you into an airy, light-filled interior framed by skylights, glass doors, and stunning Bay views. The heart of the home is a great room combining kitchen, dining, and casual living spaces that open directly to a sprawling view deck—ideal for dining, entertaining, and lounging beneath endless skies.
The remodeled chef’s kitchen features a luminous lighted agate island, Wolf range, expansive sink, Subzero refrigerator and other premium appliances, plus a custom office nook and a dining bar/buffet with dual Zephyr wine fridges. Two fireplaces warm the formal and casual living rooms, while abundant natural light blurs the line between indoors and out.
The primary suite offers floor-to-ceiling windows framing the home’s most dramatic views, fitted closets, and a serene stone-clad bath. The three additional bedrooms are spacious, bright, and thoughtfully appointed with built-ins and modern finishes.
Outdoors, the reimagined landscape unfolds across nearly one acre with a new turf lawn, bold architectural plantings, a pool, bbq area, and multiple zones to play, relax, or garden. A long private driveway and new glass garage door create a sleek first impression.
Perfectly located near Burlingame Avenue, award-winning Peninsula schools, and SFO, this exceptional property blends architectural pedigree, modern comfort, and everyday connection to the very best of Northern California living.
