Welcome to 261 36th Avenue, a charming single-level home in San Mateo's desirable Westwood Knolls neighborhood. Built in 1950 and offering 1,045 square feet of thoughtfully planned living space, this three-bedroom, one-bath residence blends classic mid-century character with a bright, functional floorplan. An attached one-car garage and a level 5,000 square foot lot with mature landscaping complete the picture, offering generous room to garden, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors.

Homes of this era carry a warmth that's hard to replicate, and this one has been cared for by the same ownership for years. There is a wonderful opportunity here for a buyer to add their own stamp, leveraging the existing floorplan and ample backyard.

The location is a standout. Laurel Elementary and the Hillsdale branch of the San Mateo Public Library are just one to two blocks away, with Abbott Middle School and Hillsdale High School both less than a mile from the door. Hillsdale Shopping Center is under half a mile, offering grocery, dining, and specialty retail, and Beresford Recreation Center and Park is approximately one mile away. Commuters will appreciate the Hillsdale Caltrain station roughly a mile away, along with quick access to Highways 92 and 101.
