About this home
Priced to sell! One of the last opportunities to create a legacy estate in Burlingame Hills. Set on approximately 0.82 acres, this exceptional property offers privacy, natural beauty, existing income, and the rare ability to rebuild a luxury main residence while preserving valuable existing improvements. Following the loss of the original residence in the 2025 fire, the property includes a fully permitted, separately metered guest house, detached three-car garage, pool, and substantial site infrastructure. The guest house and garage currently generate approximately $5,000 per month in rental income while plans are developed and construction proceeds. The property offers the opportunity to rebuild a main residence of approximately 4800 square feet on the existing footprint bypassing the planning dept. Existing utilities, driveway, mature landscaping, and site improvements provide significant value and reduce development time. A dramatic natural rock outcropping with walk-through caves, handcrafted stone stairways, and Bay views creates a setting unlike any other on the Peninsula that's attributed to Charles Fey, inventor of the Liberty Bell slot machine. This is a rare chance to create one of Burlingame's most distinctive private estates.

This is a very unique property located on a hill in Burlingame. Main house consists of a large living room area with large windows and cabin feel as the roof is made out of wood. All bedrooms are on the top floor, and has a man made cave with steps...
going to the top made out of rock. Walk across the lot and you'll find the 3 car garage, as well as a bonus studio room with full kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.

Burlingame Hills, located between El Camino Real and Skyline Boulevard, is a residential and hillside Burlingame neighborhood with winding streets and bay-to-ocean outlooks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Broadway & Burlingame Avenue area, where sidewalk cafes, independent boutiques, and low-key wine bars set a polished, walkable tone. Architectural lines lean mid-century ranches and contemporary rebuilds, often tucked behind mature landscaping on sloped lots. Trails and open space at nearby Mills Canyon Park add a nature-forward counterpoint to the town grid. Burlingame High School and Washington Park anchor daily routines with fields, courts, and community events. Local pillars such as Broadway Burlingame, Il Fornaio Burlingame, and the Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia give the area its signature stops.
