A Highlands Masterpiece: 2055 Ticonderoga Road – Mid-Century Design Elevated
by

Few neighborhoods capture the magic of mid-century modern living quite like the San Mateo Highlands, and few homes embody the spirit of Joseph Eichler as beautifully as 2055 Ticonderoga Road. Extensively updated while preserving its mid-century design, this courtyard-model Eichler offers a balance of architectural integrity and modern convenience.

Mid-Century Architecture Reimagined
From the moment you enter through the private courtyard, you’re immersed in the timeless Eichler aesthetic. The central open-air atrium is more than just a design feature—it’s the heart of the home, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living.
Inside, soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, post-and-beam construction, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls create a strong sense of openness. Natural light streams through every room, while unobstructed western views of the mountains provide a daily backdrop.
The original brick fireplace serves as a focal point, a warm reminder of the home’s mid-century soul. Authentic globe lighting fixtures mix seamlessly with updated accent lighting, celebrating the past while embracing the present.

Thoughtful Modern Upgrades
While the soul of Eichler design remains intact, the home has been reimagined for today’s lifestyle.
SPC flooring throughout delivers the elegance of hardwood with modern durability.
The kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, granite finishes, and abundant storage.
A flexible layout includes two primary suites, flexible for guest accommodations, a dedicated home office, or additional living space.
All three bathrooms have been refreshed with contemporary finishes that complement the clean lines of the original architecture.
This is a home that balances style, function, and heritage in equal measure.



Life in the San Mateo Highlands
Living at 2055 Ticonderoga means being part of one of the most vibrant and architecturally significant neighborhoods in the Bay Area. With more than 700 Eichler homes, the Highlands community is celebrated for its cohesive design, welcoming spirit, and active neighborhood culture.
At the center of it all is the Highlands Recreation Center, featuring:
A large pool and a wading pool
Tennis courts and a modern fitness center
Year-round classes, programs, and community events
Beyond the rec center, residents enjoy direct access to Edgewood Park & Natural Preserve, where hiking and biking trails wind through oak woodlands and open meadows, offering endless opportunities for outdoor adventure.
School Districts Serving the Highlands
The Highlands is known for its architecture and is served by the San Mateo-Foster City School District and San Mateo Union High School District. Check the address with the district.

Why This Home Matters
2055 Ticonderoga Road represents more than square footage—it’s an invitation to join a community deeply rooted in design and connection.
