Welcome to 486 Chatham Road, an exquisite Burlingame offering. Situated on a picture perfect tree-lined street in the coveted Oak Grove Manor neighborhood, this beautifully updated home blends classic aspects of its’ original 1941 charm with surprising modern elements.
Exuding curb-appeal galore, this single-level home sits on an expanded corner lot surrounded by gorgeous flower beds, landscaping, entry way pavers and custom shutters. Gorgeous tile and a regal entry way welcome you into an expansive open courtyard, complete with a brand new built in BBQ and patio, a relaxing fountain, serene landscaping and an overlook of stunning canopy of lush trees. The delightful kitchen contains everything a buyer might expect from this era like an bright picture window and an old time ironing board, yet you will appreciate the updated custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, eat in area and beautiful recycled glass countertops. The newly refinished wide plank hardwood floors retain all of its original intention and flow gracefully into the stunning open living area complete with glorious ceiling beams, bright light filled windows, a wood burning fire place and a lovely dining space. This home is cozy and comfortable and yet from almost every angle you feel the presence of the light, greenbelt and neighborhood trees and the open court-yard which welcomes the outside in with privacy and grace. The homes continues to welcome you into the well appointed bedrooms and bath. The master bedroom overlooks the courtyard and features a unique spa-like bath, copper sink, sophisticated shower as well as his and her closets.
Across the courtyard, past the lush vines and trellis stands a custom built studio cottage/guest house with a private entrance. It's hard not to be swept away by the soaring ceilings, custom kitchen, perfect bath, skylights and wide plank oak wood flooring. An on demand water heater and even air conditioning makes this space truly special. This would be a dream studio for a guest, family, separate office or a very lucky au-pair. The corner lot lends many back yard possibilities. It is currently configured for ample boat or RV parking in the privately fenced space and can also be reimagined to include grass and an extended outdoor family space.
In addition to what can be seen, there are many discerning characteristics that may not be readily apparent. 486 Chatham has had only two owners and the home has been lovingly maintained. Brand new windows were chosen to fit the character of the home. Refinished hardwood floors, copper piping, newer electrical panel, newer water heaters, drain lines inspected, earthquake foundation bolting installed, newer composition roof, fireplace inspected and tested, custom laundry area installed…the list goes on.
And yet, perhaps one of the ultimate features is pristine location. A stone’s throw from Burlingame Highschool, five serene tree-adorned blocks from Washington Park and the Recreation Center, six blocks from the Cal Train Station, seven blocks from Burlingame Avenue, the Library and endless eateries and establishments, this home is the heart of Oak Grove Manor. Spend the weekends riding bikes, exploring the latest hot new restaurant or grab a cup of coffee at Philz on your way back from a jog.
