Freshly updated bungalow with timeless charm on a cul-de-sac just blocks from Hillsdale Shopping Center and minutes from downtown San Mateo. New paint inside and out, hardwood floors in most rooms, crown moldings, and updated windows. Living room with gas-insert fireplace opens to a formal dining room. Updated kitchen features white Shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances with gas range, and casual dining space. Adjoining laundry room offers rear yard access. Three bedrooms with lighted ceiling fans share an updated bath with encaustic tile flooring, dual porcelain console sink, and tub with overhead shower. Cottage-style front gardens and a spacious rear yard complete the home, featuring an elevated deck, paver stone patio, fruit trees, and detached 2-car garage.
Beresford Manor, located between Hillsdale Boulevard and 25th Avenue, is a residential and commuter-friendly San Mateo neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 25th Avenue corridor near Hillsdale, where corner markets, low-key eateries, and everyday services set a steady, local rhythm. Hillsdale Shopping Center anchors nearby errands with a broad mix of retail and dining in a classic mall setting. For a cultural reset, the Japanese Garden in Central Park and the San Mateo County History Museum add quiet, civic gravitas. Streets read as calm and walkable, with small front lawns, tidy hedges, and a consistent suburban scale. Caltrain at Hayward Park Station links the area to the Peninsula’s job centers without changing the neighborhood’s unhurried feel.

Local insights from Redfin agents
San Mateo stayed one of the Peninsula's busiest markets. Homes averaged 110% of asking price, and buyers continue to compete for updated homes in neighborhoods like Aragon, Baywood and Beresford Park.
