Overview
Excellent Opportunity with Bay Views!
Lovingly owned by the same family for 46 years, this home is ready to move in and enjoy today or transform into your dream home. Slightly elevated above the street, the home takes full advantage of its Ray Park location with views reaching out to the San Francisco Bay, Mount Diablo, and the runways of San Francisco International Airport. New paint and refinished hardwood floors create a fresh new setting to enjoy right now, while the kitchen and bathrooms offer all the character and appeal of popular mid-century design. There are 3 bedrooms on the main level plus an inviting den/bedroom/bonus space on the lower level, perfect for hobbies, an office, or poolside recreation room. Located on more than one-quarter acre, the rear grounds are a true surprise with sparkling pool and spa plus ample space for entertaining, lounging, and gardening.
The home’s location is ideal, less than one mile from Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, shopping conveniences in both downtown Burlingame and Millbrae, and less than 2 miles to Caltrain and BART for commuting around the entire Bay Area. Plus, recreation abounds with Osberg Field and Mills Canyon Park just minutes away. Whether enjoying the home’s original heritage, remodeling, or even building new, this is truly an excellent opportunity in one of the Peninsula’s most sought-after cities midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

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.

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.
