About This Home

Tucked away on a quiet side street in Burlington, this charming little gem with a Mother-in-Law apartment welcomes you with a fabulous front porch that is sure to catch your eye. Stepping inside, original hardwood flooring leads you into a modern, open-concept living and dining space bathed in natural light thanks to an abundance of south-facing windows. A cozy gas fireplace anchors the living room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The adjacent kitchen features stylish shaker-style cherry cabinetry, sleek stainless steel appliances, and a spacious dark quartz composite sink. Towards the back of the main floor, you will find a half bath, a convenient mudroom, and direct access to a private grilling deck, handy storage shed, and a fully fenced-in backyard complete with space to grow your own vegetables. The second level houses a spacious main bedroom equipped with a mini-split for cool comfort during the warmer months, a full bathroom featuring a stacked washer and dryer, and direct access to an auxiliary one-bedroom apartment complete with its own 3/4 bath, kitchenette, and separate side exterior entrance. Heading up to the top level, you'll discover two additional bedrooms, a versatile play space, and another 3/4 bath, making this unique home as functional and flexible as it is lovely. The apartment can very easily be turned back into additional living space, should you need more rooms.
