Welcome to one of Burlingame’s crown jewels—2475 Capitan Avenue—a beautifully preserved historic home nestled between North and South Park. With fewer than 200 homes in this storied neighborhood, opportunities like this are rare and special. This warm 1940s residence blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. A spectacular picture window, hardwood floors, mahogany trim, coved ceilings, and incredibly well-preserved tile fireplace define the sunlit living room. The elegant dining room features leaded and stained glass cupboards and a graceful arched entry to a wide hallway. The chef’s kitchen includes soapstone counters, custom cabinetry, high-end KitchenAid appliances, and smart design details like a built-in desk, abundant storage, and tumbled travertine flooring. Three bedrooms are on the main floor, one opening to a private backyard oasis with mature landscaping and premium turf. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary featuring a renovated bath and an adjacent room currently being used as a dream closet, but large enough to be an office or fifth bedroom. The suite opens to an expansive balcony that offers ocean breezes with sunset and city views A detached guest studio features a beautifully updated bathroom with oversized marble floored shower and laundry with a space efficient kitchen. This lovely home is designated historic with significant property tax savings under the Mills Act. Burlingame is more than a neighborhood—it’s a tight-knit community where traditions live on. From holiday caroling to Easter egg hunts and a beloved annual block party, this is a place where neighbors become friends. Just minutes from the best of North and South Park dining, culture, and coffee shops—and a quick drive to downtown—this is your chance to live at the intersection of charm, convenience, and community.
