Maximize the rarity of this stately Easton Addition floorplan, surely one of the grandest layouts in the neighborhood, at a size that is irreproducible.  The home spans over 4,000 sq. ft. of living with 5 oversized bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, separate office, dual family rooms, plus wine cellar, basement level bonus recreation room, and detached garden game room. Savvy interior design accentuates a truly modern open floorplan. Step into the foyer through double front doors. Chic bamboo floors set a tone of sleek Zen elegance. Whether it’s the most boisterous soirees or the most reflective serene moments, the open gathering spaces will inspire and fulfill. In the living room, experience a suave flowing space that plays off of the main level environments visually and functionally. The open floorplan provides a clear line of vision between the naturally circulating rooms.  Off of the living room and salon hallway, a tucked away media room awaits a full-scale home office, theater, or play room. Moving to the back wing of the main level, an enormous kitchen/family great room will be a mecca of activity. A crisp white chef’s kitchen invites its guests to mingle, congregate, and celebrate the seamless “great room” flow so desired. The east deck receives morning light and features an adjacent hot tub and grassy lawn.

The main level hosts the aforementioned living room, media room, kitchen family/great room, plus a V.I.P. dining room that provides a club-like romantic respite off to the side. Also just off of the kitchen you will value a hidden office overlooking the rear garden. Upstairs, prepare to be amazed by the huge sun-swept landing! Towering ceilings soar above this prelude to the bedroom quarters. Five bedrooms are all exceptionally large with generous closets. The master suite rests beneath a lofty vaulted ceiling. A bay window seating area and morning coffee bar are other luxury master highlights. A full-sized upstairs laundry room is perfectly located.

Beyond the home’s sophisticated aesthetic and immense scale, you will appreciate the many useful “bonus amenities.” Discreetly located off of the office, a staircase accesses a restaurant-caliber, naturally cool wine cellar. Proceeding further, a full basement bonus area welcomes a playroom, man cave, or even in-law/nanny retreat. In addition to the side-by-side attached 2-car garage in the front (a Burlingame rarity for sure!) A grandfathered 1-car detached garage in the rear garden makes the perfect indoor/outdoor game room for ping pong or fitness center.

Joie de vivre resonates brilliantly throughout 1266 Drake Avenue. With its prized location and 5-bedroom design, this retreat will leave nothing desired. Drake Avenue is known as one of the finest blocks of the Easton Addition, claiming many of Burlingame’s finest residences.
