Overview
As if lifted from the Tuscan countryside, this home has been artfully remodeled inside and out with influences from Spanish and Italian design. The impressive two-story residence is introduced with custom wrought-iron pedestrian and driveway gates plus fencing for added privacy, Mediterranean landscaping, and a custom iron and glass portico entrance. Hand-painted Spanish tiles adorn the stair risers and portico, setting the tone for the exceptional indoor and outdoor spaces.
Newly painted interiors, refinished hardwood floors, and lighting fixtures throughout add a fresh and updated touch throughout. The grand-scale, two-story living room with fireplace, formal dining room, family room with fireplace, gourmet kitchen, and breakfast room all open to the outdoor living space. The formal dining room is complemented by two chef’s kitchens – one indoors and one outdoors – both of which connect to an inviting family room. Completing the main level is a bedroom suite, also ideal for an office, if needed. Three additional bedroom suites are located upstairs, including a luxurious primary suite and an oversized junior suite, each with a bathroom designed for two.
The true pièce de résistance is the renovated outdoor living space, which comprises an al fresco dining space, large corner fireplace seating area, and fabulous outdoor kitchen. The covered gourmet outdoor kitchen includes a professional gas grill with hood, warming drawer, 2-burner cooktop, pizza oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, island sink with disposal, bar seating, and stainless steel cabinetry. The outdoor space also has a tasteful water feature, oversized spa, and a 4-zone custom-designed Sonos sound system. All surrounded by lush Mediterranean gardens including olive trees, towering Italian Cypress trees, beautiful specimen wisteria, and a lace leaf Japanese maple. Finishing touches include, solar-powered electricity, Lutron lighting controls, a portable backup generator, a rare 3-car garage, and an eco-friendly synthetic lawn in the front and rear. All this plus a superb location in Burlingame Park, just blocks from shops and restaurants on Broadway and Burlingame Avenue.

Burlingame
Burlingame Park
Since 2021, the average home value in Burlingame Park has fallen almost 15%. Sales have dropped off by half, from 18 in 2021 to 17 in 2022 to only eight in 2023. Neighborhood distribution of sales along price points has trended downward to where last year only one Burlingame Park home closed for more than $5 million, whereas five hit that mark in 2022. However, the news is not all bad for Burlingame’s second-priciest neighborhood. Price per square foot ($1,524 in 2023) was flat between 2022-2023 and actually up a few percentage points from 2021. Average DOM also remained steady at 22, though that figure is 38% higher than it was in 2021. Three Burlingame Park homes sold for less than $3 million in 2023, offering opportunities for buyers perhaps priced out of Burlingame’s second-priciest neighborhood in the past, however these homes were likely to undergo significant projects.

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.

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.
