Overview
Remodeled with Lots of Work-from-Home Options
Beautifully appointed, this wonderful Upper Ray Park home presents designer elegance on an expansive lot of just over one-quarter acre. The large two-story floor plan is perfect for today’s needs where office and distance learning space are ever so important. This home has 4 large bedrooms, 2 on each level, plus an office on each level providing ideal privacy for two people working from home. Hardwood floors and fine carpet extend throughout along with recessed or ceiling lighting in most rooms. The large formal living room and formal dining room are wonderful spaces that open to the rear yard. The newly renovated chef’s kitchen is the heart of this home – a masterfully remodeled venue with counter seating at the island plus a built-in casual dining area with banquette seating. The all-white palette with Carrara marble-style quartz counters is designer perfection along with custom pendant lighting and quality stainless steel appliances.
A private wing on the main level comprises an office or family room that opens to the rear yard. Just beyond is a beautifully appointed bath with tub and overhead shower surrounded in mosaic tiles. This floor also features two bedrooms, each with direct access to a remodeled bath with mosaic tiled shower. Main level also has a separate laundry room with additional storage. Continue upstairs – past a window with views to Mount Diablo and the East Bay hills – to an office, a bedroom, plus the primary suite. This spacious retreat features a gas-log fireplace, 3 walk-in closets, and an all-marble luxury bath with jetted tub and frameless glass shower.
Outside, the extra-large rear yard offers excellent areas for recreation, socially distant entertaining, and relaxation in the spa. The newly redone garage features epoxy flooring and is currently being used as a home gym. There is also significant storage in the attic above the garage. The home’s ideal location is close to shopping conveniences in either downtown Burlingame or Millbrae, and just 1.5 miles to Caltrain and BART for future commuting around the Bay Area. Highly ranked Franklin Elementary and Burlingame Intermediate School just a short walk from the home. Located in one of the Peninsula’s most sought-after cities midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, this is truly a very special place to call home!

Burlingame
Ray Park
Last year we noted that Ray Park’s long period of growth seemed to be at an end. In 2023, the neighborhood that had seemed poised to enter Burlingame’s high-end posted significant losses in home values and sales, while doubling its average DOM. Ray Park rebounded in 2024, doubling its overall sales figures and gaining 17.3% of average home values, perhaps suggesting its return to the precipice of Burlingame royalty? Ray Park homes sold for an average of $3.115 million last year, third-highest among Burlingame neighborhoods and $1,492 per square foot, also third-highest in Burlingame. Buyers paid 107.3% of asking price in Ray Park, second-highest in town and notably 58% of Ray Park sales closed escrow for more than $3 million; only 17% did in 2023.

Favorable
Tree-lined streets with more modern ranch-style homes
Walking distance to Franklin Elementary, Burlingame Intermediate and Ray Park.
Very close to Trousdale for popping up to 280 and only a few minutes to Millbrae BART
Adverse
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.
