Overview
Two Attached Homes Just One Block off Broadway
Two homes on one lot, each with its own address, makes this property ideal for extended family needs or for rental income. Framing the entire setting are lush tropical gardens with specimen palms and verdant foliage dotted with splashes of color. A pedestrian gate off the sidewalk adds to the inviting appeal with flagstone path arriving at an elevated front patio with wrought-iron railing. The warm exterior hues of the adjoining homes complement the foliage and enhance the Mediterranean ambiance. Inside the main home, elements of its circa 1932 heritage are on display combined with numerous updates, including ceiling fans, plantation shutters, and an updated kitchen. Exposed beams and decoratively carved corbels outline the living room ceiling and frame a focal-point fireplace trimmed in Craftsman tile. The formal dining room overlooks the front gardens, and the kitchen is well-appointed with cherry cabinetry topped in granite slab.
The main home has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Two bedrooms adjoin one another with one room opening to a private deck for fresh-air living. The third, and larger, bedroom includes laddered steps up to a finished room with flexible space for office or hobby needs. Serving it all is an updated bath with granite and tile finishes. The attached second home has its own side entrance off the driveway and is equally well-appointed with living room, formal dining area, bright and light kitchen, plus bedroom, bath, and laundry. This home also has a private covered rear patio and adjacent garden. Serving the two homes is a detached 1-car garage and adjoining carport.
Adding to the appeal of this special property is its great location on a sidewalk-lined street just one block off Broadway putting myriad shops and restaurants just around the corner. Plus, this home has access to excellent Burlingame schools. Welcome home!

Burlingame
Burlingame Terrace
Burlingame Terrace continues to offer a relatively affordable option for Burlingame buyers. In 2022, the Broadway-adjacent neighborhood notched Burlingame’s third-lowest average and median home prices ($2.438 and $2.34 million), showing a decline of 2% and 1% from 2021, with recorded neighborhood sales evenly spaced between $1.43 million (Burlingame’s least-expensive recorded sale of 2022) and $3.72 million. After seeing sharp increases in price per square foot and sale price to list price percentage in 2021, in 2022 Burlingame Terrace endured Burlingame’s steepest declines in these categories, falling to $1,336 per square foot (down 5%) and a sale-to-list of 101.7%, 8% lower than in 2021 and lowest in the entire city, with the latter still an impressive statistic.

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.
