Overview
Classic Old World character from 1929 shines bright with fresh updates at this enchanting English home. The exterior presents picture-perfect curb appeal with symmetrical roof lines, iron balcony and fixtures, plus a textured finish indicative of the era and the English style. All around, fresh landscaping frames the home with a manicured front lawn, and a stone staircase leads up to the covered front door. Once inside, the home exudes heritage character with hardwood floors just refinished, crown moldings, graceful archways, and coved ceilings. Natural wood millwork defines the doorways, windows, and baseboards – another element of the original style. Natural light pours in through to-the-floor windows in the formal living room, which also features a focal-point of-the-era fireplace outlined in vintage Craftsman tile. With a wide opening from the living room, the formal dining room is also open to the kitchen with freshly painted cabinetry and ample space for casual meals. Just off the kitchen is the sunroom, the perfect setting for your morning cup of coffee or an afternoon cup of tea looking out to the verdant foliage in the rear yard.
The home comprises 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a primary suite with en suite bath and two bedrooms that each have a walk-in closet and are served by a classic vintage tiled bath. Downstairs, there is flexible-use space great for a home fitness center, playroom, or office with an abundance of natural light, a wall of cabinetry, plus a half-bath. For recreation and fresh-air enjoyment, the rear yard offers ample room for play and gardening with a lawn, patio, fresh landscaping, and a bountiful lemon tree. Adding the finishing touch, this Burlingame Terrace location is moments from your favorite shops and restaurants on Broadway plus a few minutes to Burlingame Avenue, putting every convenience close-at-hand. With access to acclaimed local schools and a location midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, this is a wonderful place to call home!

All addresses in Burlingame go to Burlingame High School (In 2003, the district lines were redrawn to incorporate this change).

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.
