Property Description
Step into a piece of Little Falls history at 528 Garden Street, an extraordinary colonial home built in 1825 by renowned builder David Petrie. This architectural gem, later known as the Burnett-Schneider home, is not only a stunning residence but also a symbol of the city’s early prominence and civic pride. The Burnett family were among the area’s most respected entrepreneurs, while the Schneider family contributed greatly to the growth of local commerce and culture. Together, they helped shape the vibrant community that Little Falls is today.
This stately 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom home exudes timeless elegance and thoughtful preservation. From the moment you enter the grand foyer, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, exquisite moldings, and one of five impeccably preserved fireplaces that anchor the home with warmth and charm. The original hardwood floors—lovingly maintained—run throughout, offering a graceful nod to the past while providing the quality and durability of old-world craftsmanship.
The home features not one, but four inviting porches—each offering a unique vantage point to enjoy the serene views of Little Falls and its surrounding hills. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee on the front porch or enjoying a quiet evening on the secluded back porch, there’s no shortage of peaceful, scenic spaces to call your own.
Step outside into the lush, private backyard, where a koi pond sparkles among mature trees, blooming flowers, and thoughtfully arranged greenery. This natural sanctuary feels miles away from the hustle and bustle, yet it’s just minutes from the heart of downtown Little Falls.
With its remarkable blend of historic pedigree, architectural beauty, and modern livability, 528 Garden Street is a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Mohawk Valley history. A home like this doesn’t come around often—schedule your private tour and experience its legacy for yourself
