Overview
Showcasing classic Spanish architecture and timeless character, this beautifully updated home enjoys an A+ location in highly desirable Burlingame Park, surrounded by tree-lined streets of classic, character-filled homes, moments from the fabulous Pershing Park playground, and just a short stroll to the boutiques and restaurants of Burlingame Avenue. The split-level floor plan has four bedrooms and two baths, blending comfort, functionality, and timeless appeal.
The home offers enduring charm, beginning with outstanding curb appeal defined by its red tile roof, signature arched front windows, and decorative ironwork – all hallmarks of this renowned architectural style. Newly painted inside and out, and offering central air conditioning, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed while preserving the original craftsmanship and detail that enhance its appeal.
An elevated entrance and ebony front door introduce the warm and inviting interiors, highlighted by rich parquet and hardwood floors, crown moldings, and graceful archways. The living room, crowned by a barrel-vaulted ceiling, showcases a focal point fireplace surrounded by Art Deco–inspired tile, while the formal dining room stands ready for gatherings beneath a contemporary wagon wheel chandelier with candle-style lights, with an abundance of natural light streaming through three side-by-side windows. The updated eat-in kitchen combines modern convenience with timeless elegance, appointed with white cabinetry, Carrara marble counters, newly refinished hardwood floors, and premium appliances from Dacor, Thermador, and Miele.
Downstairs, a spacious family/recreation room provides flexible space for play, media, or casual entertaining opening to the rear yard, along with direct access to a dual-entry bath shared with a private bedroom ideal as guest quarters. Upstairs, the expanded primary suite includes a large sitting room with potential as an office or nursery, a walk-in closet, and a limestone- and tile-appointed en suite bath with jetted tub and separate shower.
The fully fenced rear yard offers a peaceful retreat with lawn, a paver stone terrace that connects to a long driveway, and mature landscaping. A detached two-car garage features double French doors opening onto the yard. Combining architectural charm, modern comfort, and exceptional proximity to downtown, this is quintessential Burlingame living.

Burlingame
Burlingame Park
Burlingame Park rebounded in 2024, gaining 11% of value to finish with an average home price of $3.879 million — the highest of any Burlingame neighborhood. Sales also bounced back, doubling to 16 after falling from 17 in 2022 to 8 in 2023. Note also that this year Burlingame Park had four sub-$2.2 million sales, dragging down its overall averages, and these were homes that were not in prime locations or were candidates for major renovations. In comparison, in 2023 only three homes sold in Burlingame Park for less than $3 million. At the other end of the market, only two Burlingame Park homes sold for more than $5 million, compared to one in 2023 and five in 2022. One was an off-market new construction purchase in the low $7 million range; I represented the buyers.

Burlingame is one of the few areas that has maintained its gracious charm and timeless elegance over the decades. A favorite among families, Burlingame’s two main shopping areas, Burlingame Avenue and Broadway, attract a wide variety of shoppers discovering its boutiques, restaurants, dessert places, and clothing stores. 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.

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

To verify enrollment information, please contact the High School District.
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.
