The Heininger House, Burlington’s only Prairie Style residence, is architecturally inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's plan in the 1906 Ladies Home Journal. Built by Oscar Heininger of Kieslich Construction for his son Oscar Jr., the original marked up plans have been preserved. Currently configured as office space, this property preserves its original character, featuring woodwork, stained glass, intricate built-ins, French doors, a grand staircase, and detailed trim and molding throughout. Set on a 50x120 lot and including an additional 60x120 adjacent parcel, this property offers flexibility and opportunity. Inside, there are bright, spacious rooms with hardwood floors, a front foyer with built-in bench, and a functional kitchen with mudroom access to the backyard. The main level also features a formal dining and living room with natural light, built-ins, and a decorative fireplace, plus a den. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, a full bath, and an enclosed sunroom. The semi-finished lower level offers additional office space, a crafts room, and storage. Outside, a detached two-car garage, greenhouse, and parking add to the appeal. The separate deeded lot presents possibilities for gardens, entertaining, or potential development. Located next to the YMCA and minutes from UVM, Champlain College, UVM Medical Center, Church Street Marketplace, and I-89, this property offers versatility as a residence or office space.
