205 Hillcrest Rd
San Carlos, CA
Perched above the Peninsula, this is not a home that whispers—it unfolds. Light, air, and horizon become part of the architecture, with sweeping views from the San Francisco Bay to Mt. Diablo, shifting from crisp morning clarity to a warm evening glow.
An inviting front patio entry creates a sense of arrival before the home reveals itself in a series of thoughtfully designed spaces. A gracious reception room offers a moment to pause, then opens to a grand living room where walls of glass frame cinematic views and draw the outdoors in.
The multi-level perimeter decking doesn’t simply wrap the home—it enhances the living experience. Each vantage point extenuates with views that evolve throughout the day, offering distinct settings for morning coffee, afternoon gatherings, and evenings under an open sky. A level rear yard with mature rose bushes offers a softer, more relaxed outdoor retreat.
Five generously proportioned bedrooms and three updated full baths, two private ensuites—one on the main level—provides flexibility for guests, extended living, or changing needs. The galley-style kitchen and dining area balance efficiency with warmth and features a KitchenAid® five-burner glass cooktop, Broan® Rangemaster stainless hood, GE® TrueTemp self-cleaning oven, LG® dishwasher, and GE® stainless French door refrigerator—all designed for reliable everyday performance.
Interior features include recessed lighting and real wood parquet flooring, adding texture and continuity. Additional amenities include a distinctive slate-style roof, a two-car attached garage and included washer/dryer. ADU potential on the lower level.
Moments from downtown San Carlos and Belmont, the location offers easy access to a vibrant mix of dining, shopping, commute routes and daily conveniences. With approximately 3,148 sq. ft. of living space on a 7,000 sq. ft. lot, it is also within the boundaries of Carlmont High, a California Distinguished School.
This home balances presence with practicality.
