Overview
Enchanting character, vintage roots, and a most welcoming entrance – it’s all here in this most desirable Easton Addition neighborhood. A tall center peak frames the perfectly symmetrical design of this circa 1908 classic finished in the ideal Craftsman blue hue and complemented by a bright yellow front door. Creating the perfect welcome to the home is an oversized, fully covered front porch with ribbon glass windows at each end and ample space for a true outdoor living venue with access from both the formal living room and formal dining room.
Vintage details abound throughout – from the tiled fireplace in the living room to the crown moldings and hardwood floors. Newly painted interiors add a fresh finish, the kitchen is updated with crisp white cabinetry, and a brand-new primary suite bathroom is absolute luxury. There is a dedicated office, perfect for today’s work-from-home lifestyle, plus 4 bedrooms highlighted by the main-level primary suite. The three upstairs bedrooms each have ample closet space, including space that could double for play or study areas. An extra-large laundry room could easily provide for projects and crafts plus there is a detached 2-car garage with ample storage space.
Rounding out this very special home is an inviting backyard with large deck, patio, and perimeter gardens. Plus, this home is just one-half mile to Ray Park and shops and restaurants on Broadway. Welcome home!

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

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!

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.
Note from seller
I moved to 1309 Bernal Avenue 40 plus years ago as a young mom with four children. Soon after we added #5 to our family.
My husband and I raised our five children in this lovely house and celebrated many happy times with family and friends. There were parties on the front porch, barbeques on the deck, New Years Eve celebrations with friends and even a daughter's wedding in the backyard with the entire house becoming a reception hall.
Sooner or later, the children grow up, find their own partners and lives and your big house is "empty."
So now I'm on to my next adventure. I will be leaving this house but never the memories. I am certain that the new owner will enjoy this house, make it their home and build new memories to treasure. Who knows, maybe for forty years!
