Perched above the rooftops of Burlingame’s coveted Hillside neighborhood, 2896 Hillside Drive is a completely remodeled residence that masterfully balances refined craftsmanship, versatile living, and genuine turnkey condition. From the moment you arrive, the crisp white farmhouse exterior — accented by black-trimmed windows, board-and-batten siding, a paver driveway framed by iron fencing and brick pillars, and mature landscaping — sets the tone for the thoughtfully curated spaces within.
Step through the front door and into a gracious entry hall where wide-plank white oak floors, custom wainscoting, and recessed lighting flow seamlessly toward the sun-drenched heart of the home. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece: floor-to-ceiling white shaker cabinetry with amber glass uppers, quartz countertops, a custom statement range hood, and a professional Wolf 6-burner range flanked by Sub-Zero refrigeration. A generous center island invites both serious cooking and casual conversation, while a stylish built-in bar with wine fridge provides the perfect transition to the living and dining areas.
The living room, located off the kitchen, is anchored by a shiplap fireplace wall and expansive sliding glass doors that open directly to a sweeping elevated deck overlooking the backyard and offers views of the Burlingame Hills and beyond. The formal dining room impresses with wainscot paneling and a crystal drum chandelier — perfect for hosting family and friends. A lower-level bedroom with ensuite bath, plus a powder room and laundry room, complete this floor.
Upstairs, the serene primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a spa-inspired ensuite with dual vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in marble shower, plus a dedicated dressing area with barn-door closet. Two additional bedrooms, each filled with natural light, serve equally well as children’s rooms, a guest suite, or a home office.
Outside, the expansive 12,446± sq ft lot delivers exceptional outdoor living. The elevated deck flows down to a large, level lawn — beautifully landscaped and ready for play, entertaining, or a future pool. A detached garage offers additional storage, workspace, or future conversion potential.
The fully attached 2-bedroom, 2-bath ADU rounds out this exceptional property, offering outstanding flexibility for extended family, a private guest retreat, a home office suite, or rental income.
All of this within minutes of Burlingame Avenue’s acclaimed restaurants and boutiques, top-rated schools, Caltrain, and Highway 101 — one of the Peninsula’s most desirable addresses.
