[1] The Mintzer House stands near the northernmost extent of Burlington's Old North End neighborhood, on the west side of Intervale Avenue roughly midway between Willow and Oak Streets.

It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, stone foundation, and an exterior finished in a combination of wooden clapboards and shingles.

The front of the house has a three-part window on the ground floor with stained glass detailing.

The interior retains a number of original Colonial Revival details, especially in what is now the second-floor unit.

Even though a subdivision including its parcel was laid out in 1855, the house was not built until about 1898, and has seen a succession of working-class immigrant residents.
