An Audrey Hepburn in a Grace Kelly Neighborhood
With her sassy, enigmatic blue front door, 2608 Hillside’s playful energy makes her the endearing and slightly unconventional head-turner on the block. Surrounded by traditional and perfectly proper 1920 and 30s classics, this lithe, 2014-built youngster has settled gracefully into the neighborhood, a fresh interpretation of timeless Burlingame charm and style. Just eight years old and recently refreshed for sale, the home captivates, its high ceilings and luminous finishes creating volume and light. Modern and manicured, the sophisticated garden wraps the house and oversized garage, accessorizing with tone and texture. Well-located, the property is close to Hoover Elementary, and part of the community connectedness that is a perennial attractor to Burlingame’s Easton Addition neighborhood. An irresistible mix of simple elegance, charisma and fun, 2608 Hillside is both a vibrant original and a new classic.
The Property:
Just eight years old, this Modern Craftsman marries classic craftsman architectural details - spacious covered front porch supported by thick columns, bay window, front door with trim and glass pane details, divided light windows, rich hardwood floors, thick wainscoting, door and window casings, custom built-ins, with modern aesthetics – high ceilings and tall doors on both levels, vaulted ceilings in living room and primary en suite, more open living spaces and expansive transition areas.
The home has a classic central floor plan with over 3000sf of living space that includes four bedroom suites, one on the main level, formal living and dining rooms, open kitchen/family room/nook, powder and laundry rooms.
Set on an approximately 6000sf lot, the backyard is exceptionally private, its mid-block location benefiting from no house sited directly behind. Large camellias and other trees on the west side augment privacy and add welcome shade. A slate-tile patio for outdoor living has an electric space heater for extended evenings. The level lawn and long, gated driveway are all play space.
An oversized detached one car garage of approx. 341sf provides plenty of storage and has a smart opener system. Additional property features include an enclosed front garden with pedestrian gate, automatic driveway gate, central air conditioning for the upper floor, flush-mounted speakers in most common areas, and a smart sprinkler automatic irrigation system. The exterior has been freshly repainted and the interior light fixtures replaced.

Map
Neighborhood
Located 15 miles from downtown San Francisco, Burlingame is a populous suburb with a thriving commercial base of its own. The city stretches from San Francisco Bay to the east, Interstate 280 to the west, Millbrae to the north, and Hillsborough and San Mateo to the south.
Burlingame calls itself the City of Trees and counts 18,000 trees on public land and right-of-ways -- including several large stands of eucalyptus.
The Broadway and Burlingame Avenue corridors are popular shopping districts, but the city has commercial interests as well. Industrial growth in Burlingame was spurred in the 1960s and ’70s by its proximity to San Francisco International Airport, and the city is home to Virgin America airlines and related service industries.
Landmarks in Burlingame include the distinctive Caltrain station at Burlingame Avenue and California Drive, built in 1894 in the Mission Revival style. Nearby is Washington Park, which covers 19 acres and includes tennis courts, baseball fields, a basketball court, a picnic area, a playground, and plenty of green space. A more obscure landmark is the Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia on California Drive.
