A midcentury modern masterpiece originally designed by Connecticut architect Joseph Stein just landed on the market in Burlington, CT, for $1,495,000.

Built in 1956, the two-bedroom stunner at 455 Milford Street was recently reimagined by New York architect Donald Billinkoff.

The result? A fully modernized and historically prominent property that’s ready for its next owners.

“The home was designed as a glass box, so it’s all about feeling part of nature and the outside,” says listing agent Jeffrey Phillips. “The previous owners were also botanists, so the trees and plantings are very special as well.”

Beyond its lushly landscaped 4.5 acres, the property boasts a meticulously renovated, 2,370-square-foot home that comes with white oak floors, all-new Marvin wood casement and tilt-turn windows, and new interior doors and fixtures.

The home also boasts all-new electrical, plumbing, and insulation. There’s also a no-expense-spared kitchen that includes designer cabinets, a waterfall marble island, and top-of-the-line Bosch appliances.

The primary suite has a freestanding bathtub, rain shower, heated towel rack, and a custom double closet.

Meanwhile, the walkout basement offers abundant storage, as does the attached two-car garage with new epoxy flooring and an electric-vehicle charger.

New masonry work has been completed on the rebuilt front terrace, front walkway, and side terrace. The lush, wooded surroundings and rushing stream give the property a serene vibe.

“There were so many recently added updates,” says Phillips. “The current architect and owner really spared no expense.”

The private, modern home’s location is near Burlington‘s many hiking and biking trails, fishing spots, and scenic parks.

“There is a wonderful market just down the road that serves homemade ice cream and housemade breads and pies,” says Phillips. “It really gives you the feeling of New England while still being within a few hours of New York City and Boston.”
