Remarks

The height of Baywood elegance, 236 Amherst Avenue is a 1930 Spanish Revival that was entirely rebuilt less than a decade ago. With no expense spared, the property features new windows, electrical systems, designer appliances, and only the highest-end finishes. Architectural details such as a cathedral ceiling in the living room and a bedroom suite with a balcony layer old-world charm throughout the home. Refined taste transforms the spacious home, adding sophistication to the five bedrooms and three bathrooms, formal living room and dining room, and additional living spaces. The oversized family room opens onto the thoughtfully designed outdoor lounge area and freshly landscaped backyard. The home also contains a bonus room and gym, a two-car garage, and ample storage space throughout. New landscaping enhances the beautiful exterior of the home. 236 Amherst is a comfortable and polished home within walking distance to the best of downtown San Mateo.
