Very cool house to feed your inner artist. Originally a 1915 bungalow built by a merchant marine, who installed Honduran mahoghany panelling (master bedroom) and Central American tiles (bath) brought back from his travels. An architect-owner remodeled it in the early 80s, adding soaring vaulted ceilings. Front yard is private. Backyard is open and sunny, yet with a feeling of privacy. Enough space for an urban farm. Shed on property might convert to art studio. Close to town, yet feels miles away. Neighborhood Description This area of Burlingame is a close-in neighborhood with an almost rural feel. The streets are narrow, shady, and quiet. Some are even unimproved. Yet you are a few minutes to the freeway into town, and small shops are nearby.
