Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1936 and held by the same family for over 50 years, the property is exceptionally well-maintained but dated. While the structure and hardwood floors appear in good shape, the visible bathroom fixtures (shell-style pedestal sink and brass hardware) and kitchen descriptions suggest renovations are likely 20-30 years old, falling into the 'Fair' category for needing modern updates.
Elementary School: West Hillsborough School (9/10). Middle School: Crocker Middle School (9/10). High School: Burlingame High School (9/10).
The rare 9,082 square foot lot features dual access from Hillside Circle and Alvarado Avenue, offering exceptional privacy and significant potential for an ADU or future expansion.
Ideally situated near downtown Burlingame and Broadway, the property provides access to top-rated schools and convenient commute routes, making it highly desirable for families.
Owned by the same family for 53 years, the home likely requires significant cosmetic and functional updates to meet the expectations of modern luxury buyers at this price point.
As a 1936 build, the property may require investments in seismic retrofitting or upgrades to aging mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems typical of homes from this era.
