One of the earliest in the Mills Estates neighborhood of Burlingame, this home, built in 1948, has it all – gorgeous Bay views that are dazzling by day and by night, remodeled interiors with a decidedly modern ambiance, and a sparkling pool for the quintessential California lifestyle. Introduced by lush, drought-tolerant gardens with tropical flair, the home is chic and stylish with an open concept floor plan that takes full advantage of the views and works beautifully for entertaining. Expressions of contemporary style appear at every turn – from the clean contours of the open fire pit to the sleek design of the spacious chef’s kitchen. Tying it all together are lightly hued oak and bamboo floors that blend in harmony with a soft neutral color palette. The home’s 3 bedrooms and 2 baths include a spa-inspired bathroom that opens to a private bamboo garden with hot tub – the ultimate spot for relaxing under the stars. With its peaceful, private setting that inspires Zen tranquility, this home is the perfect escape, yet offers minutes-away convenience to commuter routes between San Francisco and Silicon Valley – a very special place to call home.

Home to fresh farmer’s markets every Sunday morning in the summer and fall, jazz concerts in Washington Park, and a yearly Art in the Park fair, Burlingame is a wonderful place to start a family or retire later in life, and is well equipped for both! Its tree lined streets offer an abundance of architecture and style of homes, from quaint two bedroom bungalows to thoughtfully designed four and five bedrooms.

History

Burlingame shares a common history with neighbors San Mateo, Millbrae and Hillsborough, but only up to a point. Like the surrounding communities, Burlingame was once the site of native Costanoan villages and then part of a Mexican land grant (Rancho Buri Buri to the north and Rancho San Mateo to the south). Burlingame’s history diverges from that of nearby Peninsula cities in the late 1800s, when Francis Newlands, son-in-law of landowner and Nevada Senator William Sharon, came up with a plan to turn this stretch of real estate into a playground for San Francisco’s wealthiest residents.
