About This Home

As of August 2019

Huge price reduction! This property is your chance to own a piece of San Carlos history with all the bells and whistles that any home owner would want on the fabulous Mid-Peninsula. You cannot beat this incredible, quiet location with views of the bay and western hills. This usable large lot has spacious front and back yards with room to play, entertain, garden or just relax. The house is a rare, pagoda-style structure that was built by Capt. Nicholas T. Smith in the late 1880s as a peaceful retreat and was enjoyed by Smith and other distinguished men of the time. Based on historical records, this house is the last physical reminder of the contributions that Smith made to founding the city of San Carlos. The current owners have meticulously maintained this 3-bedroom/3-bathroom home and have felt privileged to be the caretakers of this wonderful property.
