Updated Craftsman Bungalow in Easton Addition One Block from Broadway

This classic Craftsman bungalow presents all the character and charm of its circa 1908 roots combined with numerous updates for today’s living. Original details abound starting at the welcoming and elevated covered front porch with paneled ceiling and two entire walls of true divided light glass edged with a row of colorful stained glass. This inviting space is certain to be a fresh-air gathering place overlooking the sidewalk-lined streets of this sought-after neighborhood. Inside, the early era details include hardwood floors, just refinished and gleaming, plus coved ceilings reaching above crown moldings that encircle the rooms. Freshly painted interiors include a designer selected palette that complements the home’s style and highlights the moldings. The formal living room overlooks the front yard through three side-by-side windows and adjoins a spacious formal dining room with extra-deep closet for storing linens, crystal, and china. The kitchen has been remodeled with richly hued cabinetry topped in granite, glass mosaic tile backsplashes, and stainless steel appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is an enclosed sun porch perfect for casual dining, a playroom, or today’s home office complete with outside entrance to the rear yard and garage. A full bath with shower adds convenience to this flexible-use room.

This home has 3 bedrooms with one located at the front of the home and two at the rear of the home next to a large bath with slate tile mosaic finishes and jetted tub with overhead shower. Accessed from outside is the attached 2-car tandem garage plus a finished bonus room with laundry area and a huge walk-in storage space that spans the depth of the home. Adding the finishing touch are newly planted front and rear lawns with ample space for play and entertaining. And, with a location in Burlingame’s most desirable neighborhood, Easton Addition, this home has access to excellent schools and is just around the corner from Broadway shops and restaurants.

About the Easton Addition Neighborhood

Traditionally the most popular neighborhood in Burlingame, Easton Addition took that title to a new level in 2020, bumping up the number of overall sales by 43%. For the year, 66 homes sold in Easton Addition (more than 30% of the city-wide total), which also pushed its average and median home values over $3 million for the first time. 40 homes sold for more than $3 million in Easton Addition last year — twice the amount that sold at that price point in 2019 and 61% of all neighborhood sales. A dozen sold for more than $4 million. Average DOM fell by half to 12. Its charming streets lined with large homes on big lots, Easton Addition was perfectly positioned to benefit from the shift in buyer priorities during COVID. It’s hard to say whether this growth will be sustained in a post-COVID world, but we can assume that Easton Addition will remain the most sought-after neighborhood in town.

History

Ansel I. and Adeline Easton’s Black Hawk horse ranch once covered 1,500 acres. The Easton estate, and the 1,500-acre estate of Mrs. Easton’s brother D.O. Mills, occupied all of what is now Burlingame north of Sanchez Creek. The Easton estate extended from Sanchez Creek north to Mills Creek (near present day Adeline Drive) and the Mills estate extended from Mills Creek to El Portal Creek (near present day Mills Avenue).

Today, The Easton Addition takes it name from the Eastons’ son Ansel Mills Easton who subdivided his parents’ ranch and developed the area west of El Camino Real in the decades before and after World War I. The area is referred to as the Easton “Addition” because it was not originally included in the city’s borders when Burlingame incorporated in 1908. We are not sure why Easton didn’t join Burlingame originally at the time of incorporation, but probably because most of the wealthy landowners were worried that they’d be taxed (Mills didn’t join and Hillsborough didn’t join either). The last remaining 25 acres of Black Hawk Ranch were sold to Charles Howard, the owner of the great racehorse Seabiscuit, in 1925.

Ansel Easton Adams, the famous photographer, is named after Ansel M. Easton; the famous photographer’s parents admired Mr. Easton, who was married to Louise Adams Easton, the photographer’s aunt. Ansel Adams (the photographer) was named after his uncle because at one time his father greatly admired his brother-in-law, but the relationship turned very sour later in life after Mr. Adams felt like Ansel didn’t do the right thing in a business deal. When the photographer found out about this he stopped using Easton on photographs (early ones say Ansel Easton Adams), then he went to Ansel E. Adams and finally dropped the E all together.
