Overview
This home combines all the allure from its circa 1921 Spanish heritage with completely remodeled interiors that are masterfully modern and artistic. Contemporary flair begins outside with wooden awnings at the entrance and above tall narrow windows on both levels. Inside, fine oak floors extend throughout the main level and structural steel beams define the room entrances. Significant custom maple cabinetry extends throughout the home, including the formal rooms, chef’s kitchen, and dedicated office. Sleek fireplaces in the living room, dining room, and master suite enhance the ambiance, perfectly selected lighting adds modern flair, and unique tile selections appoint the bathrooms and kitchen. Two-story ceiling heights and entire walls of glass expand the dimensions and fill the home with natural light. The 4 bedrooms on the upper level are highlighted by the master suite with private balcony and luxurious spa-like bath. For outdoor entertaining and play, a loggia and adjoining covered deck span the rear of the home and a soothing spa tucked away in one corner of the yard invites relaxation. With an ideal location in sought-after Easton Addition, this home has access to acclaimed local schools and is just minutes to shopping and dining on Broadway or Burlingame Avenues.

Easton Addition
Burlingame’s neighborhood of superlatives (most popular, most expensive), the Eastion Addition, demonstrated the power of popularity in 2023, finishing the year as one of only four local neighborhoods to show an increase in average property value (Burlingables, Burlingame Gardens and Burlingame Village were the others). For the year, Easton Addition homes sold for an average of $3.574 million, up slightly from 2022’s $3.517 million — and up 8% since 2021. Overall sales were down but still the highest in town, but average DOM increased from 19 to 32 and the sale-to-list price ratio fell by almost 5%, to 98.8%, both something to watch as the local market continues to evolve.Also notable: overall sales in Easton Addition have fallen 42% since 2021, which likely says more about the market than it does about the popularity of Easton Addition

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.
