About This Home
Nestled in one of Burlington's most coveted downtown neighborhoods, this historic brick row house offers the rare opportunity to enjoy city living with the comfort and privacy of a true single-family home. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the current owners have carefully preserved the home's architectural character while enhancing its flow, functionality, and natural light for modern living. Very close to the new YMCA, Flynn Theatre, UVM campus, and an incredible collection of locally loved restaurants. You'll also be just moments away from Fletcher Free Library, City Market, and the vibrant Church Street Marketplace, or spend your afternoons only four minutes away at Waterfront Park and the Burlington Bike Path. Enter through a classic wrought iron gate into a charming courtyard, where a welcoming covered porch invites you to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind on warm summer evenings. Inside, the gracious foyer opens to a warm and inviting living room featuring custom built-ins, exposed brick, and a cozy gas fireplace. Original architectural details blend seamlessly with tasteful renovations that create bright, inviting spaces without sacrificing the home's historic charm. The main level also offers a spacious kitchen, dedicated home office, convenient half bath, and an open, airy feel. The second level features a sun-filled family room, a second home office ideal for remote work, and a comfortable guest bedroom. The entire third floor is devoted to an impressive primary retreat with soaring ceilings, skylights with electric shades, a generous walk-in closet, infrared sauna, and a beautifully appointed three-quarter en suite bath. Additional highlights include central air, a brand-new furnace (2026), refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and two designated off-street parking spaces. Historic character, exceptional care, and thoughtfully executed updates combine to create a unique opportunity to live in downtown Burlington.
