Nestled on an expansive, private lot in the desirable Burlingame community, this delightful home offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience—just a short distance from the clubhouse and premier amenities. The main level features an open, light-filled floor plan with a cozy gas fireplace, ideal for both relaxed living and entertaining. Step outside to enjoy the open deck or unwind in the screened porch, both easily accessible from the main living area or enjoy evenings by the firepit. The primary and guest bedroom are conveniently located on the main level, along with a beautifully updated kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances and a functional laundry closet. Downstairs, a spacious and flexible bonus area awaits—perfect as a guest suite, home office, media room, or additional living space. With its own full bathroom and dedicated workshop, this level offers endless possibilities to suit your lifestyle. No steep driveways here, there is access from two roads and a two car garage to provide ample parking space. With some updates, this home could shine while adding instant equity. Burlingame Country Club membership is by invitation only and not required for ownership, making this home an excellent option for a seasonal getaway, full-time residence, or investment opportunity.
