Originally built in 1921, the home has been completely remodeled and was expanded in 2018 to include a luxurious upstairs primary suite. Offering privacy from the street, the home’s welcoming entrance on the side of the home features a crimson red door set within a portico framed by Craftsman-style tapered columns. Inside, an open and flowing layout is bathed in natural light, further enhanced by gleaming hardwood and marble floors, crown moldings, and recessed lighting.
Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the home offers formal and casual living spaces that flow effortlessly from room to room. The spacious living room, complete with a fireplace and media-ready cabinetry, opens to a cozy office and convenient half-bath.

In the kitchen, any chef will delight in the all-white cabinetry, contrasting soapstone countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. A casual dining area at one end of the kitchen connects to the adjoining family room and features sliding glass doors that lead out to the private rear yard. This outdoor retreat has synthetic lawn, a brick patio, and 3-hole putting green for both play and relaxation.
Offering versatility and comfort, the home includes 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths located on the main level, while the upstairs primary suite provides a luxurious sanctuary with additional flexible space for a nursery or office. All bathrooms are beautifully appointed with marble and tile selections, adding to the home’s overall elegance. Completing the accommodations, a detached studio with its own bath offers an ideal spot for a home office or guest quarters.

Burlingame
Burlingame Park
Since 2021, the average home value in Burlingame Park has fallen almost 15%. Sales have dropped off by half, from 18 in 2021 to 17 in 2022 to only eight in 2023. Neighborhood distribution of sales along price points has trended downward to where last year only one Burlingame Park home closed for more than $5 million, whereas five hit that mark in 2022. However, the news is not all bad for Burlingame’s second-priciest neighborhood. Price per square foot ($1,524 in 2023) was flat between 2022-2023 and actually up a few percentage points from 2021. Average DOM also remained steady at 22, though that figure is 38% higher than it was in 2021. Three Burlingame Park homes sold for less than $3 million in 2023, offering opportunities for buyers perhaps priced out of Burlingame’s second-priciest neighborhood in the past, however these homes were likely to undergo significant projects.

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.
