864 Kathryne Avenue is a mid-century ranch in San Mateo’s Shoreview neighborhood with a single-level layout and useful pieces already in place. The home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including dual primary suites plus an attached garage with interior access to the kitchen. The house needs significant work and is best suited to a buyer planning a major renovation. Even so, the basic form is compelling: a single-level ranch layout, a corner-lot setting, and an open great room that already brings the living, dining, and kitchen areas together. Instead of starting with a chopped-up floor plan, a renovator has a layout that was already designed around a more open way of living. For a buyer with a vision, this is a chance to keep the mid-century shape and rebuild the interior with modern systems and finishes. Shoreview is a convenient San Mateo neighborhood with a lot nearby. Shoreview Park offers a playground, tennis courts, basketball court, baseball field, skate area, and picnic space. Ryder Park and Seal Point Park add access to the Bay Trail, walking and biking paths, shoreline views, picnic areas, and a dog park. Everyday errands, casual dining, Bridgepointe, and downtown San Mateo are all a short drive away, with nearby SamTrans service, Highway 101, Highway 92, and San Mateo Caltrain helping keep commutes flexible.
