History of the Home
Located in Redwood City’s Emerald Hills neighborhood, this lovely home at 838 Seminole dates back to 1967. As long ago as that seems, this is the first time it was sold. The home had remained with the same owner for over half a century. Remarkably, it stands as one of the first houses erected on the street.
Features of the Home
838 Seminole Way sits on a flat street, a feature seldom found in the hilly terrain of Emerald Hills. With a generous 1,900 square feet of living space sitting on an expansive 8,320 square foot lot, this property has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and quarter bathroom.
Stepping onto the property, potential buyers are greeted by the charm of a single-story residence with a view of the bay.
The interior is adorned in brilliant white, from the walls, the cabinets, to the ceilings. This bright atmosphere is further accentuated by gold-brushed accessories and cabinet handles. The vaulted beamed ceilings in the living room accentuate the airy atmosphere, complemented by recessed lighting and a welcoming wood-burning fireplace.
Flowing seamlessly from the living room is a formal dining area, leading to a kitchen adorned with designer backsplash tile and sleek quartz countertops.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a cozy family room features a gas fireplace, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with an ensuite full bathroom and scenic backyard views.
Beyond its walls, 838 Seminole Way enjoys proximity to Roy Cloud Elementary – a preferred school in Redwood City – and the Peninsula Community Center. With downtown Redwood City just a stone’s throw away, residents can indulge in a myriad of dining and shopping experiences.
Easy access to major highways 280 and 101 further enhances the home’s appeal, catering to the needs of commuters.
