Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort
Welcome to 200 Burlington Street — a Mendota architectural gem built in 1908 by William Faber. This stately residence exudes timeless elegance and showcases exquisite period details that reflect the artistry of early 20th-century craftsmanship.
Main Floor Highlights
Step inside through the ornate front entry, adorned with glistening glass side panels and an arched transom window, into a grand interior that immediately impresses.
The formal dining room stands out with its 9-foot built-in hutch featuring stained glass water lily motifs, picture rail molding, wainscoting, and beamed ceilings — an entertainer’s dream.
The spacious kitchen offers the perfect blend of functionality and charm with abundant cabinetry, double ovens, a pantry, island, dishwasher, and ample space for a large kitchen table. Enjoy your morning coffee on the enclosed porch just off the kitchen. The main floor also includes a convenient laundry area and a full bath.
Upper Level Elegance
Upstairs, sunlight streams through beveled and leaded glass windows, casting colorful prisms across the cozy sitting area. This level features four bedrooms and two full baths.
The primary suite provides a private bath and generous storage. The shared bath retains its original charm with classic subway tile walls, mosaic-tiled floors bordered in timeless design, and a vintage soaking tub.
As was customary in homes of this era, two stairways connect the levels — with the back stairs leading directly to the kitchen and laundry area. There’s also access to a spacious full-sized attic, ideal for additional storage or future finishing.
Lower Level & Extra Features
The bright, tall-ceilinged basement offers plenty of usable space and endless potential for customization. For added peace of mind, the home comes equipped with a Generac generator.
A Timeless Treasure
From its elegant quarter-sawn framed mirror and period bench in the entryway to the beautiful stained glass accents and handcrafted woodwork throughout, this home captures the essence of historic architecture.
Truly a rare find for those who appreciate craftsmanship, history, and character in every detail.
