Prestigious Hillsborough Residence 55 Fagan Drive 

Step into a piece of history with this extraordinary Hillsborough property, originally built by famed San Francisco architect Arthur Brown Jr. This unique residence was once a five-stall carriage house for the infamous 16-acre Fagan Estate, which still stands proudly next door. Transformed in 1971, by architect Bruce Dodd, the carriage house is now a luxurious single-family residence, designed to cater to modern living, while beautifully preserving the home's original charm.

Spanning approximately 7,000 square feet, this expansive home offers 22 rooms, including 7 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The home boasts a fully equipped media room, a home gym, and an upstairs sunroom with a solarium and balcony access for private enjoyment. 

The multi-level layout wraps around meticulously designed gardens, offering serene and picturesque views throughout. The ground level features sliding glass doors seamlessly connecting the indoor living spaces to the lush outdoor gardens, providing an ideal setting for indoor/outdoor living. A distinctive tower sitting room with 180-degree windows provides breathtaking views of the backyard gardens, making it a perfect retreat.

The exterior is a haven of tranquility, with over half an acre of vast garden space. Enjoy the ivy-covered trellis, an elevated terrace with a heated saltwater pool and spa, and rolling grass-covered yards. Tile pathways lead to a children's rope swing and charming log cabin playhouse. Mature trees surround the property, ensuring complete seclusion and privacy.

Parking is ample, with a 2-car garage, four additional off-street parking spaces, and three more spots in the driveway, catering to your hosting needs. The home's modern amenities include three-zone Nest thermostats, an ADT alarm system, exterior security cameras (Ring Doorbell and Google), programmable exterior lighting with automatic sensors, and an app-controlled pool system. A washer, dryer, and Kitchen appliances are also included for your convenience.

Located in the prestigious Lower Hillsborough area, this property sits on a private, quiet street with no through traffic, offering an oasis of calm. The excellent Hillsborough North schools are a significant draw for families, while the proximity to downtown Burlingame and San Mateo ensures you are never far from amenities. Quick connections to international airports, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley add to the convenience.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

In Hillsborough, large estates are the rule rather than the exception.  Town ordinances ensure its exclusivity by enforcing a minimum house size of 2,500 square feet and a minimum lot size of a half-acre.

Notable residents past and present include entertainer Bing Crosby; publisher William Randolph Hearst; the king of Tonga, George Tupou V; diet guru Jenny Craig; and former Major League Baseball players J.T. Snow, Rickey Henderson, and Greg Maddux. 

As a wealthy suburb of San Francisco, life in the town is unhurried and quiet. There are no commercial districts in the town, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. Tree-lined streets enhance the beauty of the neighborhoods, which wind around the hilly landscape.

The town covers six square miles and is bounded by Burlingame to the north, San Mateo to the east and south, and Interstate 280 to the west.
