Great outcomes often come from adapting to change and
executing the right plan at the right time.
Our clients originally purchased this home with long-term plans in mind, investing significantly into thoughtful, high-quality renovations. When an unexpected overseas move shifted their timeline, they prepared for the possibility of simply breaking even given the market conditions at the time.
While they were abroad, we managed every detail locally, from coordinating movers to overseeing final improvements, finishing touches, and landscaping. Of course, keeping them updated every step of the way with photos and videos.
By the time we launched, market momentum had picked up. With a strategic pricing approach and standout presentation, the home generated incredible interest, drawing 30–35 groups per open house day. After just 11 days on market, we received 9 offers and ultimately closed over $500,000 above asking—far exceeding their expectations and turning an uncertain situation into an exceptional result.
A Spanish Colonial Classic, Thoughtfully Updated
Rooted in Spanish Colonial architecture and enhanced with carefully considered designer updates, this Redwood City home offers a rare balance of character, craftsmanship, and modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels layered, intentional, and enduring.
A Home You Will Love!
Storybook Curb Appeal
A flagstone walkway intersects a pebble-stone path across the front lawn, creating texture and visual interest amid thoughtfully planted cacti and low-maintenance greenery. Red brick steps lead to a recessed front entry, where an ornate carved wood door is framed by colorful tilework and Moroccan lantern sconces, creating an arrival that feels both welcoming and distinctive.
A Warm, Light-Filled First Impression
Inside, refinished hardwood floors run throughout the home, setting a warm and cohesive foundation. A sculptural bronze lantern-style ceiling fixture anchors the entry before the space opens naturally toward the living areas.
Living That Connects You to the Outdoors
The living room feels open and inviting, defined by a tray ceiling with a dramatic skylight that draws in natural light throughout the day. A wide French door frames views of the backyard redwoods, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The space feels grounded, airy, and perfectly suited for both everyday living and relaxed gatherings.
A Kitchen Designed for Living and Entertaining
Open to the living area, the updated kitchen blends beauty with function. A Bertazzoni range and matching hood anchor the space, backed by a striking mosaic tile backsplash. Quartzite countertops provide generous prep space, complemented by designer-painted cabinetry with pantry storage and a stainless French-door refrigerator. An apron-front sink with sculptural bronze faucet has a view of the landscaped side yard, while bronze bowl pendants hover above the sink and breakfast bar, adding warm focal lighting in these zones.
An Intimate Dining Setting
Just beyond the kitchen, the dining room is warm and inviting, a great space for conversation and lingering meals. A large bay window brings in natural light, while pitched ceilings and a bronze Moroccan lantern overhead add depth and character. Roman shades provide privacy and light control, creating a space that feels cozy without feeling confined.
A Backyard Framed by Redwoods
The backyard unfolds as a serene retreat beneath a ring of mature redwoods. From the French doors, redwood decking steps down to a flagstone path that meanders through the yard, leading first to the detached garage with convenient laundry, then on to a secluded patio nestled beside the trees.
A grassy lawn connects the spaces, offering flexibility for entertaining, play, or quiet moments outdoors. Fruit-bearing fig trees, pomegranates, lavender, rosemary, and roses add seasonal color and abundance. A private well supports irrigation and landscaping.
Peacefully Set Bedrooms
Two bedrooms are located down a hallway off the entry, providing separation from the main living spaces. The primary bedroom is generously sized, centered around a painted brick fireplace that adds warmth and character, and features a closet with built-in organization. The secondary bedroom is graciously sized, featuring a cedar-lined walk-in closet enhanced by an Elfa organization system and a globe lantern overhead.
A Hall Bath with Vintage Soul
The hall bath blends vintage charm with modern comfort. Red tile flooring accents, a clawfoot-style wood vanity topped with quartzite, and an oblong vessel sink is paired with a wall-mounted faucet set against decorative tile. The glass-divided curbless walk-in shower features a rainfall showerhead, tiled-in linear drain, and a skylight above, filling the space with natural light and those same redwood views.
