The home’s original Old World sophistication is preserved outside with a perfect palette of ebony and tan, complemented by manicured verdant gardens and a brick walkway. Gorgeous hardwood floors, most with inlaid feature strip, extend throughout the main living areas, beneath crown moldings and plantation shutters, setting the tone for designer elegance.
The public rooms include a formal living room and formal dining room, a fabulous chef’s kitchen plus spacious family room. Continuing outside, the rear yard has been masterfully converted to an outdoor living space complete with barbecue center, fire pit, and waterfall feature – all in a very private setting.

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.
