A refreshingly different take on Hillsborough living, 805 Crystal Springs Road offers something uniquely appealing in a community known for its grand estates: a beautifully remodeled three-bedroom, two-bath home that feels refined, intimate, and effortless to live in. Thoughtfully designed interiors feature arched windows, herringbone floors, vintage-inspired tile, and carefully selected finishes, bringing character and craftsmanship to every space while maintaining a warm and comfortable feel. Outside, mature trees and a serene backyard with a creek along the rear create a peaceful, tucked-away setting. Yet the location remains exceptionally convenient, with easy access to downtown San Mateo, Burlingame, and Highway 280. For those drawn to Hillsborough, while seeking something more intimate than a grand estate, 805 Crystal Springs Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the Hillsborough lifestyle in a beautifully remodeled home that combines character, tranquility, and convenience.
