A Rarity of Character, Location, and Potential

Along one of the Easton Addition’s very best blocks, you will find this perfectly oriented 1920s classic. Treasured in one family for decades, the home retains its strength of architectural character and livability. A picturesque front porch evokes the slow pace of yesteryear, where Burlingame established itself as the pre-eminent suburb of prestige and the relaxed good life. Today, the home presents the full function of 3 bedrooms and 2 updated bathrooms (plus office off of the master suite), OR a wealth of creative potential.

Beyond the lemonade-sipping front porch, the grand sized living room and dining room feature lovely Old World ceiling treatments and hardwood floors. Circa-1924 details resonate throughout the home: crystal doorknobs, picture moldings, raised tray ceilings, and oak floors warm the ambiance. A stone fireplace anchors the living room. Nostalgic French doors extend the formal dining room adorably out to the front porch. You will note the inviting sense of light, as this home is desirably situated with east/west orientation. Two front bedrooms are amply sized and utilize the remodeled hallway bathroom. To the rear of the home, a master suite encompasses a bedroom with hardwood floors, plus an adjacent study, dual closets, and remodeled master bathroom.

From a sought-after neighborhood filled with luxury homes at or near three million dollars, it is easy to envision this property’s potential. Whether expanding, building new, or first moving in to contemplate your vision, the home holds myriad rewards and possibilities.  Drake Avenue is known as one of the finest blocks of the Easton Addition, claiming many of Burlingame’s premier residences. To own a home in Burlingame is to treasure the ultimate of San Francisco Bay Area allure: San Francisco International Airport and the BART commute are within a 10 minute drive. The Financial District and Silicon Valley hotspots are within a 30 minute drive. Nearby Broadway and Burlingame Avenue capture the best of “Cosmopolitan Chic Meets Village Charm.” Welcome home…
