Overview
Renovated and Expanded in Desirable Ray Park
Renovated, expanded, and perfectly located – this is an excellent place to call home in the desirable community of Ray Park. Previously owned by the family who originally built the home, the current owners have masterfully transformed it for modern livability and added living space, while still blending in seamlessly with this enchanting neighborhood. Completed just 3 years ago, with construction by well-known builder John Lindstrom, the now two-story home features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. An inviting front porch welcomes you inside where refinished or new hardwood floors extend throughout much of the home and abundant natural light pours through wide windows and French doors. A formal living room and formal dining room are classic and timeless while the newly added kitchen and family room combination offers space for today’s style of living. The kitchen is a dream with custom maple cabinetry, rare honed granite, and a suite of high-end Bosch appliances.
The main level comprises three bedrooms, one with en suite bath, plus a fully renovated hallway bath. Upstairs and newly added master suite begins with a loft area perfect for an office and continues into the master bedroom and luxurious sky-lit bath. Outside, the rear yard is extra-spacious with ample patio space for entertaining, a large lawn for play, and numerous fruit trees. Adding to the appeal, this home is just blocks to Mills-Peninsula Medical Center and Ray Park, minutes to miles of hiking trails in Mills Canyon Park, as well as shopping and dining, plus Caltrain/BART for an easy commute.

Burlingame
Ray Park
This small and popular neighborhood located northwest of Broadway cemented its status as an Easton Addition alternative last year, following a strong 2021 with an equally robust 2022. For the year, Ray Park saw average home values increase by 16%, to $3.171 million, and average DOM fall by 23%, to 10, while also realizing double-digit increases in price per square foot (16%, to $1,696, highest in Burlingame) and sale-to-list price ratio (11% to 122.9%, also the highest in Burlingame). Perhaps the biggest example of Ray Park’s transformation? As recently as 2020 43% of all Ray Park sales closed for less than $2 million; in 2022, only one home sold at that price point, while 78% of neighborhood homes sold for $3 million or higher.

Homes don't have the same historic feel as most in Burlingame
Hard to find a large original home in the neighborhood
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 High is within the San Mateo Union High School District (not the Burlingame School District, which includes all five public elementary schools and BIS). 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.
