✨ Coming Soon: 5405 Burlington Court – A Stylish and Thoughtfully Updated Home in Burlington Woods
If you’ve been waiting for a move-in-ready Williamsburg home with style, space, and smart upgrades — this might just be the one.
I’m excited to introduce 5405 Burlington Court, coming to the market on June 13 at $480,000. Tucked away in the peaceful and well-loved Burlington Woods neighborhood, this home has been lovingly updated by its current owner, who happens to be a designer and creative through and through. You can feel that energy in every room — and you won’t want to miss your chance to see it.
Showings begin June 13, but I’d be happy to get you on the schedule now. Reach out directly to set up your private appointment.
As someone who has lived in Williamsburg for over two decades and sold more than a few homes in neighborhoods just like this, I can tell you: homes like this don’t come along often. It’s not just move-in ready — it’s magazine ready.
This is not just another move-in ready property — it’s a home with personality, warmth, and a story behind every corner. Set in the serene, tree-lined enclave of Burlington Woods, this home offers comfort, style, and the kind of detail you can’t find in builder-grade new construction.
The Story Behind the Sale
When Britney Mortenson and her husband, Kenny Baese, left Bozeman, Montana in 2017, they were looking for a lifestyle shift — a softer climate, a welcoming community, and a place that aligned with their hobbies and careers. They found all of that (and more) in Williamsburg.
We first connected online — and within weeks of that conversation (me calling from my sunny 65-degree sunroom while she was buried in snow), they booked a house-hunting trip to Virginia. Williamsburg quickly beat out Massachusetts as their new home base, and Burlington Woods stole their hearts.
Britney, a historical costumer, found a home for both her work and passion here. She now works at Burnley & Trowbridge, a well-known fabric supplier for reenactors and costumers. Kenny is an IT professional at the James City County Service Authority, and an avid Lego enthusiast with an impressive collection. This house offered the space, light, and charm they both needed — and they turned it into something truly special.
What Makes This Home Shine
This two-level, 2,384-square-foot home sits on a peaceful cul-de-sac in one of the most charming little neighborhoods in town — just 26 homes, a small park with playground, sidewalks, and friendly neighbors who wave hello. Inside and out, it’s full of thoughtful touches and stylish upgrades that make it stand out.

- Upstairs primary suite with walk-in closet outfitted with custom Ikea storage
- Primary bath with updated tile, a separate soaking tub, and glass shower

Exterior Features:
- Professional landscaping with perennial plantings

- Oversized back deck perfect for outdoor dinners, morning coffee, or entertaining under the stars

Why Williamsburg — and Why Burlington Woods
The couple isn’t leaving town — they’ve simply fallen in love with a more modern architectural style and found a home with a bigger yard for Hildy. That tells you everything you need to know about how much they love living in Williamsburg.
Burlington Woods is a hidden gem — small, quiet, and surrounded by trees, but with quick access to everything. It’s ideal for commuters, nature lovers, or anyone who wants to live close to the action without being in the middle of it.
