Overview

Classic and timeless, this home combines the best of circa 1930’s architecture and craftsmanship with beautiful updates throughout. The enchanting home exudes classic Mediterranean style with an impressive façade that includes an array of arched windows, sconce lights, and a brick staircase to the elevated and arched front portico. Inside, the arched architectural elements continue to include room openings, hallways, as well as the barrel-vaulted ceiling in the grand living room. Glass doorknobs, parquet wood floors, and even a charming telephone nook recall the home’s early heritage. Beyond the formal living room and formal dining room, the updated kitchen features beautiful marble counters and white cabinetry with a wonderful space for casual dining highlighted by built-in shelves above cabinetry. An adjacent office is perfect for work-from-home space or a convenient place for homework.

Spanning multiple levels, the home has 4 bedrooms and 3 remodeled baths.

Two additional bedrooms upstairs are perfect for family members while the lower level bedroom and bath are ideal for guests or even separate living quarters, with a spacious family room and private entrance. Topping it all off is a rear yard that has an expansive patio with heaters, eco-friendly synthetic lawn, and fresh landscaping complete with fruit trees. This home is in the heart of the sought-after Easton Addition neighborhood, putting it just minutes by foot to Ray Park, excellent Burlingame schools, and Broadway shops and restaurants.

Burlingame

Easton Addition

Easton Addition accounted for 25% of all Burlingame home sales in 2022 (30% in 2021) while posting the city’s second-highest average and median home values ($3.51 and $3.4 million, notably up 6% from 2021). As Burlingame goes, though, so goes Easton Addition, and the city’s overall drop in real estate activity was reflected in its most popular neighborhood where overall sales fell 35% after increasing by 18% in 2021. That Easton Addition real estate actually gained value while most other neighborhoods lost value is a tribute to its enduring desirability, as is the fact that during a down year $5 million-plus homes increased their neighborhood market share from 1.5% to 9%. Since 2018, property values in Easton Addition have increased by 25%.

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.
