A Historic 160 Year Old Home on 15 Acres

Property Description

This 15 +/- acres is located in Burlington, Kansas, and holds a beautiful Victorian home, a detached garage, fruit trees, and so much more.

The front of the property is lined with a white fence that leads up the driveway to a brick Victorian home built in 1860, with low electricity bills due to the expansive solar panels. The driveway is tree-lined with large oak, pear, apple, and cherry trees, bringing a secluded charm. When you see the home, it will be hard to miss the extensive craftsmanship that was put into this home over 160 years ago. A modern composite floor deck along the front of the house mixes with the rock columns of the home, bringing out the mixture of new and old. There is approximately 3,200 square feet of living space that includes 5 bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. When you walk in the front door, you will notice the original wood staircase that is absolutely stunning. On the main floor, there are two separate living room spaces, one complete with a working wood stove and exposed brick walls that create a rustic feel. Under your feet are wood floors throughout the home. The kitchen and dining room are perfect as they are spacious and accommodating for family meals.

Up the stairs are another two floors. The second floor includes spacious bedrooms, an updated bathroom, and an office space as you come up the stairs. The office space has been used previously as an area for workout equipment, storage, and an office workstation. There is another staircase leading to an area mostly used as storage but could easily be used as a loft, office, or children's play area.

The 15 acres include a pasture that has been occupied by horses but could easily hold a few cattle, a 1940s milk barn waiting to be rehabbed, and a nice 40'x30' detached garage to park your vehicles or boat, along with overhead space.

Burlington has a population of just under 3,000 with a great small-town vibe. The city has many restaurants, including two very good Mexican cuisines, "Across the Border" and "Cilantros", stores, and if you like recreation such as fishing and boating, John Redmond Reservoir, Wolf Creek Reservoir, and Melvern Lake are not far away.
