Property Description

Welcome to 171 Exeter, a beautifully refreshed tri-level home in the heart of San Carlos. After decades in one family, this residence begins its next chapter with timeless charm and smart updates. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, two offices, a gym with shower, and a private lower-level suite ideal for guests, in-laws or someone needing space, the layout offers flexibility for modern living. Recent upgrades include refinished wood and LVP flooring, new doors, updated lighting, fresh paint, and a reimagined kitchen and baths highlighted by a stunning primary suite. Enjoy multiple outdoor spaces: a sunny front deck, shaded patio, and two flat areas perfect for entertaining, play, or relaxing. The wine/storage room stays a steady 60 to 65 year round, and bedrooms remain naturally cool in summer with AC available but rarely needed. Located just 1.5 miles from downtown San Carlos and Carlmont Shopping Center, you're minutes from Caltrain, top-rated schools, Belmont Canyon trailhead, and four acclaimed local breweries. With quick access to 101 and 280 and the coast just 20 to 25 minutes away, this home blends charm, convenience, and lifestyle in one unbeatable package. This isnt just a home, its an opportunity to live beautifully in one of the Peninsula's sought-after neighborhoods.
