Overlooking prestigious Burlingame Country
Club on a quiet street of Lower Hillsborough is a magnificent gated French
Colonial home. With over 6000 square feet of living space, this five bedroom
four and a half bathroom home is the perfect arena for family living and
formal entertaining. This grand home combines modern living amenities
with beautiful architectural detail. Craftsmanship is seen throughout
the home with its custom cabinetry and built-ins, Plantation shutters,
molding, tray ceilings, hardwood flooring and wainscoting. Serene landscaped
gardens with two patios and a swimming pool compliment this fabulous home
reminiscent of a French Chateau.
