Steeped in Burlingame's aristocratic history, this distinctive English Country home is a landmark presence in prestigious Burlingame Park. The eye-catching facade is distinguished by the exceptional Cotswold-style rolled roof reminiscent of Shakespearean England. Everywhere, original details - such as fine wood millwork, ornate paneling, richly beamed 14 foot ceiling in the grandly proportioned living room & exquisite banks of sparkling leaded glass windows - recall the superb craftsmanship, quality and sophisticated design of an earlier era. The flowing circulation between the formal rooms, everyday areas & expansive brick terrace welcomes convivial entertaining & indoor/outdoor enjoyment. A beautifully updated chef's kitchen features professional-grade appliances & is well positioned to cater meals for gala affairs or relaxed gatherings. The gated, lush garden setting features red Japanese maples, emerald lawns, vivid rose, perennial & rhododendron borders, and the tall hedges provide extra seclusion. With its lovely vintage details, landmark heritage & premier address just minutes from downtown Burlingame, this home is truly an exceptional find.
