Perched on a sunny vantage point in the rolling hills of Westwood Knolls, this charming home with classic details awaits, surrounded by mature trees and landscaping. Hear birds chirping as you wander up a paver driveway to reach the front porch overlooking the manicured front garden and with a mounting view of the immediate neighborhood. 

Welcome to 141 West 40th Avenue, San Mateo!

Inside, timeless elements like arched doorways, refinished parquet hardwood flooring, and a vintage doorbell enhance the character of this home as you explore the easy-flowing floor plan. The entryway carries you forward into the spacious living room boasting a wood-burning fireplace. Wrap-around picture windows cast filtered light across parquet flooring and provide a serene view of the nature-filled front yard.

Straight ahead through another arched doorway, the formal dining room provides a cozy place to gather for meals and game nights below a wooden, globe chandelier. Natural light enters from  a large original picture window,  which the previous owners left as a charming detail.

On your right, enter the sunny kitchen, complete with a breakfast nook. Just renovated with white shaker cabinetry, gray quartz countertops, gray hex format tile, and linen shadow polished ceramic tile backsplash. This chef inspired kitchen is well-equipped with a deep stainless steel sink, Samsung SmartThings gas range, Samsung refrigerator, and Samsung dishwasher. Adjacent to the stove a built-in ironing cabinet has been converted to spice cabinet, another nod to the home’s charm.

Private quarters are down the main hall from the entryway or dining room. Bedrooms are on the north and south end of the home, both with charming corner windows offering lovely views of the landscaping and closets with built-in organization. A renovated shared hallway bathroom has been updated with striking smokey blue glazed subway tile surrounding the tub/shower, and complete with new lighting, water fixtures,  flooring, vanity, toilet, and hardware. The hallway also provides two additional storage closets.

The covered rear porch is a cozy place to relax and shelter from the sun. Lush wisteria trellised along the face of the porch frames a serene view of the yard, offering roses, a producing citrus tree, a giant bird of paradise, and more. A patio extending from the porch is the perfect spot to dine al fresco or perhaps add a fire pit. Stepping into the yard a lush, sunny lawn greets you while a mature weeping willow and birch trees provides a shady backdrop along the fenceline.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a mudroom offers a space for laundry with available hookups, a sizable storage loft accessible by a small flight of stairs, as well as access to the garage and rear yard.

Situated perfectly between San Mateo and Belmont, enjoy all that both areas have to offer! Head to Mollie Stones for groceries, have a lavish night at the Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas and shop at Hillsdale Mall, or have fun with friends at Bel Mateo Bowl. There’s plenty of access to the outdoors with Indian Springs Park and Laurelwood Park a short distance away.
