Welcome to your private retreat in Emerald Hills of Redwood City! Located on one of the best streets of all Emerald Hills perfectly perched on a spacious double lot with a full view of the bay. You have views up and down the Peninsula and across the bay. Whether you are enjoying the sunrise over the eastern hills, the midday splender, or catching the glow of the setting sun reflecting on the windows of homes across the bay, this view and setting is hard to beat. This home was designed and built for the original owner; the entry, living room and dining room show symmetry and balance. From the moment you step into the home you immediately see the view of the bay through the large picture window and glass doors - it immediately takes your breath away. This area is further enhanced by a high, vaulted wood ceiling, fireplace and handsome hardwood floors. Off to the right, you will find a true family style kitchen large enough for family and friends to gather and help cook (and clean). Adjacent to the kitchen you have an open-style family room perfect for your Sunday newspaper or hosting your favorite event. The primary bedroom and one of the secondary bedrooms are both on this same level. The primary bedroom suite has a massive bathroom with a soaking tub that takes full advantage of the view as well, plus you will find a spacious walk-in closet. Wake up to the rising sun and fall asleep to the twinkling lights - beautifully relaxing and stunning at the same time. Downstairs you will find two additional bedrooms, a large bonus/game/recreation room, a laundry room and a hall bath. All three secondary bedrooms are very spacious ... no small bedrooms here! The large extra room has endless options; home office large enough to share, home theater, game room or maybe one day another primary suite - the choice is yours! Outside, you have a wonderfully planned front yard with parking for no less than 8 cars, and room for a boat or RV too, plus an attached two-car garage, complete with a convenient pull-down ladder accessing extra storage. Please notice the wide left-side yard creating the perfect location for a cottage/ ADU, and easy access to your backyard for any landscaping project you desire. All of this is situated on a very wide and deep "double lot", approximately 14,810 square feet that is reasonably level. You can easily host a 4th of July celebration and watch 5 firework shows! Plus, you have the iconic Elks Lodge less than a half mile away. You will find a golf course, pool, tennis, and endless activities going on year-round at The Elks Lodge (please check membership and fees). And with easy access to Highway 280, your commute is a breeze. All this, and you are in the area deemed "Weather Best By Government Test". You will LOVE living here!
