Description

This stately grand home was the residence of Burlington’s first mayor, Albert Catlin, in 1865. With 10 foot coffered ceilings, an intricate parquet floor in the dining room, stunning curved front staircase, and gorgeous woodwork throughout, this home is truly a unique property! It offers the best of both worlds: old world charm with numerous major updates over the years that make it work for contemporary living. A gracious veranda wraps around the front of the home with access from living and family rooms. Another covered porch faces south over the backyard and is accessed from the dining room. These covered porches offer 800 sq. ft. of outdoor living space. The first floor boasts expansive living spaces with oversized windows for generous natural light. The large kitchen has a breakfast nook facing south with additional closets for storage. The upstairs is accessed from two staircases and has four generous bedrooms with ample closets, 2nd floor laundry room, great linen/storage closet, and updated guest bathroom. The primary suite is flooded with light and has a large walk-through closet and primary bath. A walk-up attic offers additional storage and potential expansion. Basement offers additional storage, workshop, and access to garages. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Burlington’s history with this incredible Hill Section home!

    "Folks tend to tailgate pretty bad, and road rage is increasing as more out of staters move to vermont. More traffic, so more incentive to take public transit. Roads need a lot of help. Commute to surrounding towns takes little time if it’s not rush hours."

  • Westin R.
    "Being the oldest and most diverse neighborhood in Burlington, the Old North End lends a unique charm and character to the city. The Queen City would be sorely lacking without this neighborhood. It can be loud and some of the buildings can use some TLC, but those are the most minor of qualms and should be expected in any city neighborhood. McMansionville this is not, thank goodness. "

There is a grocery store, hardware store, pediatricians office, kids dentist and a could restaurants within a five minute drive (15-20 min walk). And the elementary school is just around the block. "

    "It’s a family friendly neighborhood close to everything! It’s unique in that there are 3 bike paths including trails that lead to lake Champlain which is only about 5 to 10 minute walk! Take another short walk to Ethan Allen park or cross country ski there in the winter including a wooden bridge that leads to Ethan Allen homestead. Enjoy craft beers at the simple roots brewery which is literally a 5 min walk. "
