Overview

As though living in a tree house, this beautifully appointed home presents bright and light interiors, extensive remodeling, and a thoughtfully arranged floor plan perfect for today’s needs of working from home and distance learning. The open floor plan takes full advantage of the verdant wooded vistas at every turn with dramatic walls of glass and doors opening to a vast deck, balcony, or patio. Skylights provide even more natural light beginning at the foyer, which opens fully to the formal living room with fireplace and adjacent formal dining room. The true central gathering place is certain to be the remodeled gourmet kitchen and family room combination, an architectural masterpiece that integrates floor-to-ceiling glass complete with a vibrant red outdoor chimneypiece in the view that adds modern panache. New maple cabinet fronts and sleek granite counters along with stainless steel appliances define the kitchen, which includes a wonderful open connection to the family room. Adding to the accommodations is a second family room on the lower level that opens to a large front patio plus an adjoining office center with built-in desk and cabinetry with sink.

Personal accommodations comprise 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including a main-level primary suite with private balcony and luxuriously appointed bathroom with deep tub and separate shower. A second bedroom and remodeled bath are also located on the main level, while two bedrooms and the third bath are privately located on the lower level. Outside, the large deck is a wonderful spot for fresh-air living bordered by drought-tolerant landscaping and a walking path that encircles the one-third acre lot. For further recreation, trail heads at Mills Canyon Park are just one-half mile away. Adding the finishing touch is access to excellent Burlingame schools. Welcome home!

Burlingame

Burlingame Hills

Burlingame Hills’ often-overlooked secret— that it’s Burlingame’s greatest value at $1,195 per square foot — again made it the city’s second-most popular neighborhood in 2022 for the most number of sales (after Easton Addition), but like the rest of Burlingame, it suffered by comparison to 2021. 21 homes sold in Burlingame Hills last year, a decline of 38% from 2021 but still 61% increase over the 13 that sold in 2020. Average home values fell slightly, from $3.225 (a 22% increase from 2020) to $3.177 million, but there are enough indicators, like a 53% fall in average DOM from 2021 to 2022 to suggest that, despite the challenges posted by larger market conditions Burlingame Hills has gained a foothold among Burlingame buyers. 

The closest public elementary schools are Hoover Elementary. Nueva Elementary is nearby down the road on Skyline, and is a private elementary and middle school focusing on the arts for gifted and talented children.

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.
