Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a true piece of Burlington history! Built in 1842, this remarkable stone built property is one of the oldest buildings still standing in Burlington. The limestone used in its construction was quarried directly from the property’s own backyard, making it a truly unique example of the city’s original architecture. Original ornate wrought-iron railings and decorative corbels further showcase its historic character and craftsmanship. The home is currently set up for single family use but could be easily converted back into a multi-family dwelling, as it was configured in the past. It features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a new metal roof installed in 2024. It also holds a current rental permit, offering excellent potential for an investor or someone with the vision to restore this historic treasure to its former glory. The home also features a third story that has been preserved like a 1960s time capsule, offering a rare glimpse into mid-century living, along with a beautiful view of the Mississippi River. Located just steps from the famous Snake Alley and within walking distance of downtown Burlington’s shops and dining, this one-of-a-kind property offers history, character, and an unbeatable location. It is ready for its next owner to bring it back to life and preserve its story for generations to come.
