Chisholm House

The Chisholm House in downtown Burlington is a one-of-a-kind two bedroom executive furnished rental, with modern amenities and all the charm of a heritage home (circa 1890).   Situated in a park-like setting, across the street from Brock Park and just steps from popular Spencer Smith Park, this house is sure to inspire you, whether you are a business executive looking for a place to stay for two months to two years, or you in need of a place during time of transition.   

This modest dwelling is a good example, in excellent condition, of the Victorian summer cottage prevalent in the community at that time.  It retains most of its original features, which include the shiplap wood siding on the lower portion, the windows and trim, the doors and the delicate "gingerbread" bargeboard.

This house is a major contributor to the street-scape of the Nelson Avenue Block, just north of the Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB) on Nelson avenue.  This Heritage Home retains all of its charm from its early days, and has been updated to reflect more modern living.    

The professionally landscaped yard with mature Black Walnut and Cedar trees provide a cottage like setting in an urban location steps to the lake and across from quaint Brock Park.
