909 Elm Street — Curb Appeal x 10

Recently, I featured Elm Street as a Neighborhood Spotlight in the blog; and this home at 909 Elm is essentially the poster child of why I think Elm is such a great street. This home, listed by Mary Jo McCarthy of Cashin Company, is located on one of the most picturesque sections of Elm — the stretch between Arroyo and Brittan. (The blocks between Eaton and White Oak Way are no slouches, either.) With the combination of impeccably maintained houses and the stately trees that shade this block, it's very easy to see the similarities with parts of Los Altos and Palo Alto (the good similarities, of course.) So it's quite a compliment when one particular home earns a double-take when you drive by — and this one does. Maybe it's the fact that it's a Cape Cod?

This house quite simply has maximum curb appeal — a nice, big front lawn, and the architecture and color of the home are spot on. Inside, you'll find that the home has been completely updated. Nice, high end touches throughout, and the kitchen is amazing. The back yard is private and nicely landscaped.

Location is another key plus for this home — Starbucks and Harmony Yogurt are way too conveniently located for my dietary and budgetary well-being, and it's a short walk to the shopping and fine dining establishments on the northern stretch of Laurel Street.   Good stuff.

If you're checking out homes this weekend in San Carlos, put this one on your list. It's currently listed at $1,399,000 — click here for more details and photos –> 909 Elm St:
