Tucked away on a quiet street yet right in town, this home delivers the best of both worlds: true seclusion with city convenience at your fingertips. The large, tree-lined lot feels surprisingly expansive?rolling out toward mature woods that give it a peaceful, almost rural vibe while you're just minutes from everything Burlington has to offer. Step inside and the natural light immediately hits you. Generous windows throughout flood the spaces with sunshine, highlighting the fresh finishes, rich wood-look flooring, and thoughtful updates. The main living areas flow nicely, creating an open, inviting feel that's perfect for everyday living or unwinding after a day out. The kitchen shines with modern dark cabinetry, granite-style counters, stainless appliances, and a functional layout ready for real cooking. A full bath has been nicely refreshed, and the two bedrooms offer comfortable, bright spaces. Out back, the oversized two-car garage is a standout?plenty of room for serious wrenching, storing all the toys, or converting into that ultimate mancave or workshop you've been dreaming about. The big backyard, complete with fire pit area, invites evenings under the stars, gardening, or just soaking in the privacy. This is a solid, move-in-ready gem on a lot that punches well above its weight?secluded, bright, and versatile. Ideal for someone looking to escape the ordinary without leaving town.
