San Mateo, CA 94402
A Rare Piece of Baywood History, Beautifully Reimagined
Tucked behind a lush, manicured courtyard in San Mateo's coveted Baywood-Aragon neighborhood, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence at 212 Eaton Road is the kind of home that simply does not come along often. Set inside a stunning 1928 Mediterranean-style building, this 1,310 square foot
condo offers something the new builds cannot replicate: nearly a century of architectural soul, paired
with all the modern comforts today's buyer expects.
Step through the grand tiled entry, where hand-painted Spanish risers, wood-beamed ceilings, and
wrought-iron details welcome you home and set the tone for what's inside. The bright, sun-filled living room features a dramatic bay window, hardwood floors, soaring ceilings with elegant crown molding, and a beautifully preserved carved fireplace mantle that anchors the space. Whether you are entertaining guests or curling up with a book, this room makes every moment feel a little more special.
The formal dining area flows seamlessly into a crisp, freshly painted kitchen featuring classic subway
tile, ample cabinetry, and a charming garden window.
Two generously sized bedrooms offer peaceful
retreats, and the original tiled bathrooms have been thoughtfully preserved, complete with vintage
tilework that is impossible to find in today's construction.
Recent updates make this home truly move-in ready: new plumbing, new lighting, fresh interior paint, and updated electrical completed in May 2026. The result is a home where timeless 1920s craftsmanship meets the clean, modern functionality every buyer is looking for.
Location is where this property truly shines. You are just blocks from downtown San Mateo, an
award-winning culinary destination with over 100 restaurants packed into five strollable blocks,
including Michelin-starred dining, boutique shopping, the Cinemark Century theater, and the beloved
Central Park with its Japanese Tea Garden. Enjoy morning coffee at Backhaus Bakery, dinner at Pausa Bar & Cookery, or a movie just a few blocks away. The Caltrain station, Highways 101, 92, and 280 are all minutes away, making the entire Bay Area effortlessly accessible.
Homes inside this iconic Mediterranean landmark rarely come to market, and even more rarely in this
condition. If you have been waiting for the one that has it all, character, location, craftsmanship, and modern updates, this is your moment.
