The historic "Burgess House"
The historic "Burgess House" is being offered for sale for the 1st time in 30 years. Built in 1912, this lovingly maintained residence received a 2017 preservation award in recognition of the care and attention given by its current owners.
A charming front porch leads into a formal foyer and spacious main floor, highlighted by 9’ ceilings, intricate millwork, and stained-glass windows. The south-facing living room features large windows, a gas-burning fireplace, and flows gracefully into the formal dining room. The generously sized kitchen is ideal for family living, offering ample cupboard space, an intimate eating area, large windows overlooking the level backyard, and direct access to a deck.
Upstairs, the original wooden banister guides you to four bedrooms with mountain, westerly, and partial city views, plus a bathroom with a period-correct clawfoot tub. The full-height lower level includes a near-new one-bedroom guest suite, perfect for extended family, a nanny, or a mortgage helper.
Mechanical updates include a new high-efficiency furnace and hot water tank (2024), an updated electrical panel, and the majority of windows double glazed. Set on a north/south oriented 50’ x 132’ lot with front driveway and lane access at the back—ideal for a garage or coach house addition (confirm with the DNV)—the backyard is fully fenced and features a large patio and spacious lawn, perfect for children and pets.
Conveniently located in Upper Lonsdale, the home is steps from École André-Pilot and a short walk to Braemar Elementary. Enjoy nearby amenities including Queensdale and Lonsdale shops, with Westview Shopping Center and Edgemont Village just a short drive away.
As a heritage-designated property, the Burgess House is noted for its attractive shingles and exquisite Craftsman-inspired wood details, including the distinctive ‘dentil’ notches above the second-floor windows and decorative eave brackets.
Offering a perfect balance of historic charm, contemporary updates, and a family-friendly setting, the Burgess House is more than a home—it’s a legacy.
