Situated in the heart of Burlingame, one of San Diego’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods, 3144 Laurel St is a 1923 Spanish Colonial Revival with Cubism influences. Built by the renowned Hurlburt & Tifal, known for their custom homes near Balboa Park, this home is designated as a historic property with Mills Act tax savings, offering both charm and financial benefits. The home features an elevated entry patio, perfect for social gatherings, and a welcoming interior with coved ceilings, large windows, a stunning fireplace, and original walnut-stained hardwood floors. The bright dining room is enhanced by large French casement windows, while the gourmet kitchen boasts high-end Pedini Italian cabinetry, a Miele cooktop, Gaggenau oven, Thermador refrigerator, and sleek Silestone countertops. Additional features include an HVAC system with an electronic air cleaner, built-in speakers, recessed lighting in the living room, and paid-off solar panels for modern efficiency. Positioned on a private corner lot, the elevated home offers a prominent street presence. The backyard is a blank canvas, with architectural plans available for landscaping, providing endless possibilities for customization and personal design. The detached single-car garage, though in need of renovation, presents an opportunity to be transformed into an ADU, adding both value and functionality. The upgraded 200-amp electrical panel includes 50 amps at the garage, ideal for electric vehicle charging. This historic gem effortlessly blends classic architectural details with modern upgrades, offering an inviting and sophisticated space to call home.
