Stepping into this beautifully preserved home in the heart of Burlington City feels like stepping back in time — not just into history, but into a story of dedication, community, and legacy. Nestled within the Historical section, every corner of this home whispers of the generations who lived, laughed, and built their lives here. But what makes this place truly extraordinary is its connection to Herman T. Costello — a man whose name is etched into the very fabric of this city. Serving as Mayor for over three decades, he carried himself with integrity, humility, and an unwavering love for the people he represented. They called him a “statesman and a gentleman,” and walking through the same halls he once did, you can feel the weight of his service and the warmth of his spirit. Living in this home — it’s an immersion into a living legacy, a reminder that places are more than walls and roofs; they’re vessels for the stories of those Families who shaped them.

Union St. The owner has recently replaced the front porch roof, the Heat is Forced Air (Gas) and there is Central air in the home. The 3rd level can be used as 2 additional bedrooms.
