Overview
An unexpected setting awaits beyond the timeless Tudor Revival architecture of this circa 1916 home. Approximately one-third acre of remarkably private, park-like grounds unfold with expansive level lawns, a seasonal creek crossed by a charming bridge, mature trees, and a greenhouse, creating a setting rarely found just four blocks from the shops and restaurants of Broadway. Freshly updated interiors and newly refreshed landscaping complement more than a century of architectural heritage. Steeply pitched gables, grouped divided-light windows, a prominent chimney, and an inviting covered entrance all reflect the craftsmanship and enduring character that have defined the home for generations.
Inside, flexible living spaces throughout the home allow the floor plan to adapt to changing needs over time, whether accommodating a growing family, guest quarters, dedicated office space, or additional bedrooms. The home begins with a series of gracious living spaces designed for both everyday enjoyment and entertaining. Espresso-hued hardwood floors contrast beautifully with fresh white finishes, including period board and batten walls that define the main living areas. The grand formal living room is a particularly impressive gathering space, highlighted by a remarkable carved fireplace and a charming turret alcove with elevated window seating. Equally inviting, the formal dining room continues the home's architectural themes with concealed china cabinets and abundant natural light, a hallmark of the entire residence. A sunroom lined with divided-light windows and French doors extends along one side of the home, providing a versatile space for relaxation, reading, or entertaining.
The beautifully appointed kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with white cabinetry, marble-style quartz counters, a distinctive mosaic backsplash, quality stainless steel appliances, and both island and banquette seating. Beyond the kitchen, a comfortable family room provides valuable casual living space rarely found in homes of this vintage.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with a customized dressing area, abundant storage, and a marble-appointed bath with skylight, jetted tub, and separate shower. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized and complemented by attractively updated baths, including one en suite bedroom. Outside, the expansive rear grounds become a true extension of the home. Broad-level lawns invite recreation and play, while a charming bridge spans the seasonal creek, leading to a greenhouse and extensive gardening areas. A patio with spa provides space for outdoor entertaining, all within an exceptionally private setting that feels worlds away. Completing the appeal is the exceptional Easton Addition location with a library across the street, access to highly regarded Burlingame schools, and an easy stroll to neighborhood shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences.

Easton Addition
Easton Addition posted strong results through the first half of 2026. The average sales price rose 9.2% to $3.954 million (up from $3.621 million in 2025), while the median climbed 9.4% to $4.025 million (up from $3.679 million) — both healthy gains that keep Easton Addition firmly in the upper tier of Burlingame neighborhoods, with pricing right after Burlingame Park. Burlingame's signature neighborhood recorded 26 sales year-to-date, compared to 47 for all of 2025, keeping it on pace to match or exceed last year's transaction volume while maintaining by far the highest activity in the city. Price per square foot came in at $1,506, down slightly from 2025's $1,527. The sale-to-list ratio strengthened to 105.7%, up from 103.4% last year, signaling increasingly competitive conditions with homes selling well above asking. The neighborhood's high transaction volume makes it Burlingame's most liquid market with about a quarter of all Burlingame sales, and the steady price appreciation demonstrates its enduring appeal to buyers seeking the classic Easton Addition combination of location, schools, and community character.

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.
