English Tudor fairytale in Hillsborough asks $5.5 million

Built in 1927, this English Tudor mansion in a tony Silicon Valley town brings to mind another time another continent. Think Howards End, but minus the lower socioeconomic rungs overlapping with the upper crust. This is, after all, Hillsborough, darling.

Featuring five bedrooms, five and a half baths, 5,847 square feet, 133 Ridgeway Road comes with period details like wrought-iron hardware, hardwood floors, leaded and stained-glass windows, wood paneling, and more.

Parts of the home have been renovated over the years, including the kitchen (now woefully dated), downstairs bar area, and bathrooms. Also of note, the creekside pool, detached wine room, and potting shed in the back.

Asking is $5,588,000.
