Overview
Designer One-Level Home Completely Rebuilt & Remodeled
Completely rebuilt down to the foundation just 5 years ago, this stunning Upper Ray Park home presents timeless designer elegance with a nod to the classic Craftsman style. Luxurious modern livability extends throughout one convenient level with 4 bedrooms, a playroom/den, plus flexibility for a formal living room or home office. Numerous skylights ensure every room is filled with light, while hardwood floors and classic millwork add designer panache. The floor plan is open and flowing with a wonderful layout for entertaining and everyday living. The great room is certain to be the home’s central gathering place with its easy connection to the home’s outdoor venues where a heated arbor-covered dining area, built-in barbecue, and fire pit can be enjoyed year-round.
There are 4 bedrooms including a master suite that begins with a customized office center and continues to a luxurious bathroom and bedroom with French door to a private deck. Two additional bedrooms each have direct access to a shared bath and the fourth bedroom suite is perfectly located in privacy at the front of the home, making it ideal for guests.
Situated on more than one-quarter acre, the home’s ideal location is less than one mile from Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, shopping conveniences in either downtown Burlingame or Millbrae, and just 1.5 miles to Caltrain and BART for commuting around the Bay Area. Plus, recreation abounds with Osberg Field and Mills Canyon Park both just minutes away as well as the local elementary and intermediate schools. 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.

Tree-lined streets with more modern ranch-style homes
Walking distance to Franklin Elementary, Burlingame Intermediate and Ray Park.

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.
