This is a new Transitional Spanish home set on wider-than-average lot in a densely populated area of San Mateo, California.  The narrow lots allow for and require a lot of formal detailing and stylistic features to be prominently displayed across the front facade.  The Gathering Space, with Kitchen, Casual Dining, and Family Room, is the heart of the house and opens widely to the covered seating area and pool deck beyond.  The wider lot allowed for a generous rear yard and entertaining spaces. A classic example of California outdoor living.
