New San Carlos Listing: 270 Oakview Drive.

Checking All the Boxes.

Having already listed a number of homes in San Carlos this year and listened to what today's buyers are searching for, it's pretty easy to compile the wish-list that is common to most of these buyers:

• New, or newer construction.
• 4 or more bedrooms, 2,500+ square feet.
• Flat back yard.
• Open floor plan for entertaining.
• Great location in the flats.
• Modern amenities — Solar electric, air conditioning, etc..

That's why I'm thrilled that my newest San Carlos listing at 270 Oakview Drive checks every one of these boxes, and more.

Fabulous Layout.

One of the first things you'll notice when you enter 270 Oakview Drive is how intelligently designed the floor plan is. There's just enough of a formal living area to separate the entry from the main part of the house, and even though there's a formal dining area, the bulk of the square footage is dedicated to the expansive kitchen/family room combo that everyone seems to want in today's construction.

There's a full bedroom and bathroom downstairs, which is ideal for guests or as a home office (or both!), and there's even a fully appointed indoor laundry room — no more schlepping into the garage!

Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including the expansive primary suite that has multiple closets for storage. Unlike many other homes where all of the bedrooms are mashed together, there's plenty of separation here between the primary suite and the other bedrooms — just another example of how smart the layout is here.

Modern Amenities.

Since this home was just built from the ground up in 2008, there's no need to worry about knob-and-tube electrical wiring or older plumbing, which eliminates a big hurdle for securing home insurance. But there have been multiple improvements to this house since it was built to enhance your living experience:

• Solar electric panels, fully owned and paid for, and under the NEM-2 rate plan.
• Full central air conditioning
• Tankless water heater.
• Dedicated 220V outlet just inside the garage door for EV charging
• Flat, landscaped back yard complete with built-in outdoor kitchen.

The downstairs living area also has brand-new European oak floors that were just installed in preparation for selling the home, and the entire interior has been repainted.

Great Location.

270 Oakview Drive is located in the White Oaks neighborhood of San Carlos, which means you're within the award-winning San Carlos School District, and you're ideally situated in the flats of San Carlos. Another thing that's great about Oakview Drive is that you're essentially equidistant from either 101 or 280, making whatever commute you have to suffer through a little easier.

There's just not many fully-dialed 4-bedroom homes on the market anywhere right now, let alone in a prime San Carlos location. So be sure to check out 270 Oakview Drive this weekend – we'll be working the holiday weekend with open houses on both Saturday and Sunday. If you can't make those times, just contact me for a private showing!

But don't miss it – this one really does check all the boxes!
