Custom remodeled Howard Park home in one of San Carlos’s more desirable neighborho­ods reflects meticulous attention to detail inside and out.

The thoughtful renovation and addition were masterfull­y crafted by Harrell Remodeling, Inc. to optimize the function and flow of the space while adding timeless features. The previous owner and her family “poured their hearts into every detail” to create this turn-key property with more than 1,600 square feet of lightfille­d living space that includes three bedrooms, two baths, and storybook charm.

You can’t miss this special home at 1939 Eucalyptus Avenue, San Carlos’s magical street of lights, “Candy Cane Lane” each holiday season. It’s the one with the mature palm tree planted in the front yard, a homage to the owner’s affection for Southern California, and like its neighbors, features an inviting trellis-covered front porch actually used for morning coffee, lunches, and a chance to wave to or chat with neighbors passing by.

The vibrancy of this delightful neighborho­od, however, is year-round, as evidenced by the manicured front gardens and careful attention to the properties.

The open floor plan, bright with natural light, allows an unobstruct­ed flow and “great room” feel from the living room into the kitchen and continuing into the dining and family room area. Glimpses of the backyard gardens immediatel­y offer eye-catching views as well.

The inviting living room has front-facing windows, beautifull­y refinished hardwood floors, and a fireplace with a decorative tile surround, traditiona­l carved mantel, and a Regency gas insert. In-thewall wiring for media and surround sound speakers are also featured.

The fresh look and clean lines of the design continue into the beautifull­y designed and well-appointed kitchen. Granite slabs counters and the breakfast bar were handselect­ed for their unique designs. A subway tile backsplash complement­s the counters and custom, soft-close cabinetry. There is under-counter lighting, a trio of pendant lights, and extra outlets at the breakfast bar. Stainless Kitchenaid appliances include a fourburner, dual fuel range with a warming drawer, and a Zephyr range hood.

Convenient­ly located just opposite the kitchen are built-in cabinetry and bar with a granite counter, upper glass-faced cabinets, and a wine refrigerat­or. The adjacent family/dining room has a vaulted ceiling and two sliding glass doors that open onto the Timbertech deck.

The master bedroom suite has a private entry illuminate­d by a pair of stylish sconces. This room also has a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, and sliding glass door access to the backyard. Behind a pocket door is the fabulous walk-in closet outfitted with custom builtins, including pull out rods and a built-in ironing board.

Heated porcelain tile floors create a luxurious feeling in the master bath that also includes a dual sink, granite-topped vanity, and make-up vanity, tub with a garden view, and an oversized shower with decorative tile surround and seamless glass enclosure. Generous storage cabinetry, stylish fixtures, and contempora­ry medicine cabinets are also featured.

Two additional bedrooms feature crown molding and custom closet shelving. An additional full bathroom, also updated with stylish fixtures, features a tub/shower combinatio­n with a glass shower enclosure, granite countertop, and decorative tile.

Entertain, play, or just relax in the backyard, a space that received just as much attention to detail. Multiple fruit trees in raised brick planters produce a bounty of delectable fruits. Brick walkways meander among the planting beds and raised vegetable garden, and around the synthetic lawn. A Timbertech deck offers lots of room for outdoor dining, or get cozy on the patio around the John Unger custom made fire bowl. A shed with windows and shelving provides ideal space for extra storage.

Additional features include dual pane Andersen 400 series windows and sliders, a Tamarack whole house attic fan with remote control, Bryant furnace, a tankless water heater, copper plumbing, and updated electrical and lighting systems. There is also a wired security system with two keypads and multiple sensors to be activated by the new owner. A deep single-car garage features movable shelving, laundry, and a built-in work station/workshop that can easily be expanded.

Walking distance to Burton Park and nearby downtown San Carlos shops and restaurant­s, this home is also convenient­ly located near neighborho­od schools, including Brittan Acres Elementary, Arroyo Upper Elementary, Central Middle, and Sequoia High School. Enjoy the easy access to Highways 101 and 280, and the Caltrain station.
