Charm and flexible spaces blend effortlessly in this extensively updated three-bedroom, three-bath home in the College Park neighborhood, just minutes from downtown San Mateo and downtown Burlingame! With 2,317 square feet of living space, this home presents an ideal circular floor plan, beautiful flooring throughout, ample light from large windows, and charming outdoor spaces to soak up the best of California’s indoor-outdoor living.

Welcome to 720 North Humboldt Street!

On approach, a picket-fenced front yard is filled with mature fruit trees, topiary, shrubs, and flowers to create the feeling of a secret garden escape. Continuing on, a gated front yard with mature landscaping leads to a covered porch to extend a warm welcome to the home. Stepping inside, a sense of open airiness and ease of movement is provided by the circular floor plan, grounded by new Gaia luxury flooring throughout the home.

To your right, an inviting living room is flooded with light by large triple bay windows, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace is surrounded by built-in shelving.  This spacious room has an open flow into adjoining rooms, making it an ideal landing space for entertaining guests and holiday gatherings.

Flowing from the living room is the formal dining room, a place where gatherings and memories are made.  Well-lit by a modern farmhouse chandelier overhead and a generous window, the dining room offers full-height built-in shelving which provides a place to store and display serving ware. Glass French doors segue to a delightful and spacious bonus room. With natural light flooding in, this flexible space could serve as a work-from-home office, media room, guest space, or whatever you imagine!

The spacious kitchen is truly the heart of this home. New quartz countertops wrap around the kitchen offering ample countertop space, freshly painted white cabinetry provides generous storage, and a suite of new stainless steel appliances will delight any home chef.  Connected to the dining room and the family room, with a fun pass-thru window to the family room, the kitchen location and configuration lend themselves to ease of meal service and entertaining.

At the rear of the home, the spacious family room offers access to the incredible backyard. Built-in cabinetry below the kitchen pass-thru provides an extension serving space for entertaining or displaying personal treasures, while a closed space below offers additional storage. Further enhancing the spaciousness of this room is a wide opening connecting to the bonus room.

Stepping outside, you discover one of this home’s highlights - the enormous backyard. This delightful space is ripe for exploration, lawn games, tree-climbing, or just relaxing and soaking up the famously pleasant Bay Area weather. A newly expanded patio offers ample space to entertain or dine al fresco, and the freshly sodded lawn is a plush space to play or relax. Surrounded by mulched, mature landscaping including producing lemon and mandarin orange trees. A large shed provides storage space, and there’s even space for your own garden!

Private quarters are to one side of the house, easily accessible from the family room as well as the front hallway. The primary bedroom with its large windows features a remodeled ensuite bath with an oversized shower. There are two additional bathrooms with new quartz vanity tops, fixtures, and other upgrades, along with two more bedrooms, one of which has a walk-in closet and sliders opening to the back patio. Extra storage space abounds, along with washer/dryer hookups in a large hallway closet. A two-car garage also provides additional space for storage and securing belongings.

So much is at your fingertips in this excellent College Park location. Community schools, like San Mateo High School, community shopping centers like Safeway and CVS, and local restaurants are all nearby and easily accessible. This is an active and thriving community, with a neighborhood newsletter and strong shared advocacy from within the friendly and connected community.
