About this home
Welcome to this fabulous piece of local history known as the Burr House, built in 1864 by Luman and Mary Burr. This 3 story, 6 bedroom, 5 1/2 bathroom one-of-a-kind Italianate masterpiece recently won the prestigious Gift of the Street Award thanks to $75k of historically-accurate restoration work over the past few years which includes restored soffits, fascia, roof, gutters, and paint; a new air conditioning handler, washer, and cellar doors. Some of the gorgeous original custom features include black walnut bookcases in the family room and built-ins in the dining room, 3 Italian marble fireplaces, oak hardwood floors throughout the first and second floor, carved brass door knobs, clawfoot tubs, and so much more. With an updated kitchen for modern convenience (2020), with heated floors and stainless steel appliances, and an adjoining butler's pantry. This home sits on just under an acre, right across from historic Franklin Park. Too many details to mention, you MUST see for yourself!
