Across the road from the only park in Hillsborough, Casa de la Colina offers the perfect blend of hallmark architecture, quality renovation, and artistic ambiance. As one enters the property, the exquisite landscaping is striking.

A dramatic, sunken living room, with twelve-foot ceilings, original plaster fireplace, and double French doors leading to an intimate retreat with Zen water feature make for a gracious indoor-outdoor experience. Old world charm and architecture are the trademarks of this home, but with sensitive renovation and stylistic integrity, and highlighted by solid plaster and hardwood, designer vintage lighting and hardware, Waterworks fixtures and dynamic tile work, this home a haven of perfect esthetic and function, all right across the street from picturesque Vista Park.
