ROMANTIC OLD-WORLD style with deep roots

Timeless, and rich in character and unique charm, this heritage home originally built in 1916 embodies historical grace, understated elegance,  a love of gathering and a sense of belonging. The enduring style of quality workmanship and materials is evident in the home’s generous use of elaborate moldings and trim, custom builtins, wainscoting, parquet flooring and multi-pane transom windows. Romantic living spaces with Old World style include the living room with stone fireplace, formal dining room with exquisite builtins, family kitchen, breakfast room wrapped in windows, an office, a sunroom and three light-filled bedrooms on the upper level — and within strolling distance of, and equidistant to, Downtown- Broadway and Burlingame Avenues. Icing on the Cake: The 7,934± square foot lot is zoned R-2 which has a huge upside. You can potentially expand the existing home and add a second home, or an ADU—2 residences.
Transcending trends, this beautifully maintained heritage home continues to gain appeal over time. It is a classic beauty.

Neighborhood

Located 15 miles from downtown San Francisco, Burlingame is a populous suburb with a thriving commercial base of its own. The city stretches from San Francisco Bay to the east, Interstate 280 to the west, Millbrae to the north, and Hillsborough and San Mateo to the south. 
Burlingame calls itself the City of Trees and counts 18,000 trees on public land and right-of-ways -- including several large stands of eucalyptus.  
The Broadway and Burlingame Avenue corridors are popular shopping districts, but the city has commercial interests as well. Industrial growth in Burlingame was spurred in the 1960s and ’70s by its proximity to San Francisco International Airport, and the city is home to Virgin America airlines and related service industries. 
Landmarks in Burlingame include the distinctive Caltrain station at Burlingame Avenue and California Drive, built in 1894 in the Mission Revival style. Nearby is Washington Park, which covers 19 acres and includes tennis courts, baseball fields, a basketball court, a picnic area, a playground, and plenty of green space. A more obscure landmark is the Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia on California Drive.
