TIME STANDS STILL. .. AN INCOMPARABLE HIDDEN COMPOUND. Historic Renovation at Lower Hillsborough's Premier Location. Unsurpassed opportunity to own a piece of Hillsborough history, masterfully transformed in 2018 as a 1 acre compound. Originally the c. 1895 Gardener's Cottage to Henry T. Scott's Oakhurst, one of Hillsborough's earliest estates. A pure homage to East Coast character, two remodeled cottages + 2-car garage now rest on 1 acre+/- of pristine land near the end of the cul-de-sac. Two-Story Main House is 1700 sq. ft. with 2 beds, 2.5 baths, plus office. Luxury-ready 1-bed, 1-bath ADU is 695 sq. ft. The 2018 structural restoration was "down to the studs, " with discretion in preservation and freedom of re-interpretation. Utmost privacy and sensory elements of the garden! Don't miss the entertaining terrace, spirit of the Hamptons, tucked beyond a peaceful meadow. The perfect je ne sais quoi just far enough in the country, yet just close enough to the pulse of downtown Burlingame.
