Features
Expect an irrepressible urge to whistle or hum as you are welcomed and wrapped into the chorus of birdsong at 187 Valdeflores. Private but not isolated, serene but not still, this remarkable setting on a +/- 18,000sf oak-sprinkled lot are an opportunity to remodel the existing house or perhaps even design your own. Located in Burlingame Hills, a community within a community, colorful Valdeflores Drive is the “valley of flowers” running through its heart. Built in 1962, the midcentury, single level home is modern in form and function, with a timeless floor plan, integrated outside spaces, and easy accessibility via a wide, level driveway to an oversized garage. The open living area blends living, dining and kitchen spaces. An adjacent family room shares the double-sided fireplace. Three bedrooms share two baths, including a restful primary suite. Endless doors and windows frame an uninterrupted, living gallery of sun-washed garden and treetop views, a visual invitation to life outside on the entertaining deck, under the shade arbor, or in the redwood hot tub.
Burlingame is known for its perennially strong public schools, shopping and restaurants, and its flexible mid-Peninsula location that makes SFO, San Francisco and Silicon Valley easily accessible.

Neighborhood
Located 15 miles from downtown San Francisco, Burlingame is a populous suburb with a thriving commercial base of its own. The city stretches from San Francisco Bay to the east, Interstate 280 to the west, Millbrae to the north, and Hillsborough and San Mateo to the south.
Burlingame calls itself the City of Trees and counts 18,000 trees on public land and right-of-ways -- including several large stands of eucalyptus.
The Broadway and Burlingame Avenue corridors are popular shopping districts, but the city has commercial interests as well. Industrial growth in Burlingame was spurred in the 1960s and ’70s by its proximity to San Francisco International Airport, and the city is home to Virgin America airlines and related service industries.
Landmarks in Burlingame include the distinctive Caltrain station at Burlingame Avenue and California Drive, built in 1894 in the Mission Revival style. Nearby is Washington Park, which covers 19 acres and includes tennis courts, baseball fields, a basketball court, a picnic area, a playground, and plenty of green space. A more obscure landmark is the Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia on California Drive.
