About This Home

As of April 2020

Welcome to this lovely updated home with an open floor plan, newly refinished hardwood floors throughout most of the home, fresh paint in designer colors, and a master suite with remodeled bath. One of two additional bedrooms has a generous layout, large enough for a sitting area or office space plus access to a large backyard deck with views of the Bay. The living room features a fireplace and built-in cabinetry. Dont miss the garden room off the dining area! The close proximity to downtown Millbrae, the Millbrae Bart/Caltrain station and the San Francisco International Airport makes this a wonderful place to call home.
