Overview
Cherished Ranch Home with Bay Views
Cherished by the same family for 42 years, this classic ranch home benefits from a corner lot with low-maintenance landscaping and views out to the iconic San Francisco Bay and East Bay hills. Vintage appointments are a nod to the home’s mid-century heritage and an excellent option for remodeling into your dream vision. The traditional floor plan begins with a classic formal living room with fireplace shared with the adjoining formal dining room, each looking out to the views and connecting with a spacious deck for al fresco enjoyment. The kitchen has vintage appointments, significant cabinet space, and a lovely breakfast area looking out to the front yard. A large laundry room and full bath are found just off the kitchen as well as direct access to the 2-car garage and the covered portion of the rear deck.
In their own wing are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, including the primary suite with private bath and access to the view deck. Beyond the deck and just a few steps down is added space for recreation and gardening, all in a very private setting. This home also benefits from an excellent location just one block from trailhead access to miles of hiking at Mills Canyon Park and just one mile from Mills Peninsula Medical Center. Downtown shopping in Burlingame or Millbrae is close at hand as are BART, Caltrain, and San Francisco International Airport.

Hilly, though some streets are level
Burlingame is one of the few areas that has maintained its gracious charm and timeless elegance over the decades. A favorite among families, Burlingame’s two main shopping areas, Burlingame Avenue and Broadway, attract a wide variety of shoppers discovering its boutiques, restaurants, dessert places, and clothing stores. 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!
Its tree lined streets offer an abundance of architecture and style of homes, from quaint two bedroom bungalows to thoughtfully designed four and five bedrooms.

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.
