Breaking News: Unionville’s 1 Burlington Road Up for Grabs, Only $379,900 – Get It Before the Weeds Take Over!
Unionville, CT – In the latest installment of the ongoing saga titled “How Expensive Can Your Dreams Get?”, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom Cape Cod-style home at 1 Burlington Road is on the market for a tantalizing $379,900. For those brave enough to face the challenge of homeownership in 2024, this might be the plot of land where you’ll spend the next few decades battling rising taxes and HOA-free bliss.
This 1,789-square-foot gem, built in the era of questionable fashion choices (1981), is nestled on a cozy 0.57-acre lot. Let’s be clear – if you ever wanted to have an excuse for buying a ride-on mower, this is it.
Inside the “Cozy” Cottage
The home features a sprawling front-to-back living room that doubles as a historical museum of hardwood floors and fieldstone propane fireplaces. This spacious area is ideal for either a robust game of indoor soccer or an exhibition of antique rugs. Need more space? The large family room with its vaulted ceiling and sliders to the backyard offers the perfect escape, should you need to run from your life choices.
For those who believe that kitchens are the heart of the home, you’ll be thrilled to find a kitchen opened to the dining area. The connected butler’s pantry? It’s not just for extra storage – it’s a silent reminder that you can bring the laundry up to the first floor if you’re ambitious.
You’ll find a primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom upstairs. It’s the perfect setup if you’ve always dreamed of sharing one bathroom with multiple people. After all, nothing says “family bonding” like fighting over who gets to use the mirror first in the morning.
Recent Updates and Perks
The house at 1 Burlington Road has been given a facelift with new siding, roof, and gutters, all completed in January 2024. Public water and sewer are connected, so you can flush away your financial concerns without worrying about a septic tank explosion.
A Brief History of Fiscal Pain
Let’s talk money. The current listing price of 1 Burlington Road at $379,900 is a slight dip from the initial $399,900 price tag seen back in July 2024, which is just a polite way of saying, “Please, someone buy this house before we have to mark it down again.”
Historically, the property has experienced a rollercoaster of taxes that would make any accountant cringe. In 2023, the property tax hit a high of $5,965 – a modest 4.8% increase, just enough to remind you that your wallet isn’t safe. Over the years, the tax assessment has grown faster than a teenager in a growth spurt, with the current assessed value at $246,400.
