Overview
Freshly finished inside and out, this home recalls all the charm and character of its circa 1946 Spanish heritage – from the adobe brick walls to the hand-hewn ceiling beams, tile finishes, and glass block accents. Designer-selected paint colors, new carpeting, and quartz countertops add a modern flair and create a setting that is ready to move in and enjoy today or further remodel for the home of your dreams. The location in Burlingame Gardens is perfect for access to either Broadway or Burlingame Avenue for the best of downtown dining and shopping – and all less than one mile away. This great location is also commuter friendly close to Caltrain and Highway 101 to San Francisco or Silicon Valley tech centers. Newly landscaped gardens provide the finishing touch on this large lot in a very private setting. Truly a wonderful place to call home!

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.

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.
