Burlingame is famous for its architecture and unforgettable downtown....732 Paloma Avenue delivers this full experience with remodeled character and rare amenities. From your curated Spanish Bungalow, full of handpicked detail and upgrades, you are only a half mile from Downtown Burlingame Avenue...about a 10 minute walk! Approaching the home, you will first notice the characteristic 1920s styling of the Spanish Colonial era: the romantic archways and red tile rooflines express the ultimate in charisma. The current owner has intertwined nostalgic touches and modern luxury updates in true connoisseur fashion. At the entry, a vintage stained glass window portraying a musical lyre, was reclaimed from the UC Berkeley Music Department, now distinguishing your welcome. You will also notice the gated secure driveway that leads to a detached 2-car garage on this 100% usable 6,650 sq. ft. lot.
The single-story floorplan of 2 bedrooms, 2 remodeled bathrooms, plus Office, is designed with entertaining in mind. While the living room is an elegant gem with its coved ceilings and western sun infusions, the heart of the home maximizes "Open Concept" flow with the large dining room and breakfast bar opening to the enormous renovated kitchen. Note the premium honed granite countertops, onyx backsplashes, appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero, and random plank hardwood floors. Your "life of the party" will shine! As an homage to European Revival, a sunny breakfast room, with its south window, features a floor-to-ceiling wall of reclaimed brick veneer. French doors swing open to an enchanted brick courtyard and deep usable yard. It is this attention to high-end detail and indoor/outdoor livability that make this home such a special design statement. Each handcrafted bathroom features premium stonework of travertines, marbles, and onyx. In the master suite, don't miss the hidden Office, that extra destination complete with overflow closet, signature arched window, and yard access.
This timeless treasure delivers the complete Burlingame package: a foundation of character, a commitment to updated luxury, and serene garden living... all walkable to our illustrious downtown. Natural light is another hallmark of this lifestyle. Morning light from the south radiates the kitchen and breakfast room, while the living room enjoys a direct western exposure of sheer afternoon brilliance. Outside, the oversized grounds of 6,650 sq. ft. are just as fantastically detailed as the interiors. A brick courtyard welcomes barbecues and outdoor parties beside a sculpted bonsai-style oak tree. The detached 2-car garage forms an ornamental border to the courtyard with its French doors and Andalusian wood shutters. Matching the architecture, there is even a deluxe shed building (with electrical) for your storage or maybe even extra office needs! At the end of the day, it is this combination of style and location that will be your new identity, and the singular joie de vivre known as one of Northern California's most enduring luxury lifestyles. Welcome home...
