Overview
Set on a corner lot of approximately 13,234 s/f in sought-after Burlingame Hills, this Colonial wears the character of its era while living easily for today. A red-brick and painted-shingle facade, white multi-pane windows, and a paneled entry door meet layered, mature landscaping, including a Japanese maple, weeping birch, and brick-edged garden beds that frame the walkway and lend picture-perfect curb appeal.
Inside, a traditional, light-filled floor plan spans approximately 3,455 s/f, finished with hardwood floors and crown molding. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace with a stone surround, while an adjoining library with its own fireplace and wet bar offers a natural retreat and workspace. A formal dining room connects to the kitchen, where a Viking six-burner range with griddle, a KitchenAid built-in refrigerator, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a subway-tile backsplash with a diamond-set accent open to a sunny breakfast area with French Doors leading to the garden and pool. Just off the kitchen, a main-level bedroom with en-suite bath offers a convenient guest option. Beyond, a spacious family room features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rear grounds, with interior laundry tucked away out of sight.
Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, with a versatile adjoining room ideal for use as an office, nursery or dressing room. A full bath serves the two additional bedrooms, completing the upper level. A finished attic adjoining the far bedroom offers additional storage space.
The private rear grounds are made for play and entertaining, with a pool, fountain, and a broad terrace and patio with mature trees for privacy. A detached two-car garage sits off the motor court, with a finished studio space above it.
Adding the finishing touch, Burlingame Hills offers wooded, hillside seclusion with a country atmosphere, just minutes from Interstate 280, with shops and dining a short drive down the hill. Excellent schools: Hoover Elementary, Burlingame Intermediate, and Burlingame High School (buyer to verify).

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!

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.
