The newly constructed oversized garage is immaculate with storage spanning the length of the building. Complete with outfitted work area and full storage loft; there is tons of storage here.
The driveway was re-made in 2008. The pavers were removed, new concrete poured, and pavers re-installed over concrete slab. This home reflects both village charm and cosmopolitan chic – the very essence of Burlingame itself.

Exterior Features This fine Craftsman home of 1922 vintage has been totally remodeled to twenty first century standards. The property emphasizes the originality, simplicity of form, and care of the craftsman and takes it to a whole new level.  From the moment you step on to the interlocking paver stone pathway you’ll notice the attention to detail.  The hip roof is only 8 years young, and the front porch, with its tapered columns, makes it uniquely American and gives the home a storybook feel.  The floor plan of 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus home office, blends designer details with a warm sense of tradition.   The front yard is a palette of plants, bushes, and impeccably maintained lawn. The characteristic columned porch is classic Craftsman, while the solid wood mahogany door is contemporary luxury. Hillsdale train station is exactly one mile from the house, straight down 36th Avenue.   It's really convenient for commuters.
Additional Features and Amenities Fully equipped home-office areais Internet ready and outfitted with lighted desk, bookshelves, and plenty of storage. As you enter the hallway you’ll be inspired by open architectural beams, which create a feast for the eyes. The oak flooring continues ending at a French door, which opens on to the deck and landscaped yard.
The Nursery features dark wood plantation shutters covering a picture window overlooking a mature camellia bush. The walls are decorated to amuse a child.  
The master bedroom will surprise you with its spaciousness, sloped ceiling, and skylight.  A naturally durable basketweave sea-grass carpet covers the floor, with dark wood plantation shutters adorning the windows. The master bath is lavish including all travertine finishes with a 3-head custom shower with double doors, deep whirlpool tub, and granite topped dual-sink vanity. A full walk-in closet is expertly built-out with organizers, perfect for the fashion diva in you.
