995 Dorset Street, South Burlington, VT, 05403
About This Home
Some homes just have it all and 995 Dorset Street is one of them. This gorgeous Victorian offers the rare combination of timeless character, modern updates, income potential, and a South Burlington location that simply can't be beat. The first floor flows beautifully and is anchored by an updated kitchen with chef quality stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry, a formal dining room perfect for entertaining, and an oversized living room with the kind of space that invites everyone to stay a while. If our custom painting is not your style, we are happy to offer a concession to repaint the interior. Step outside to the secret garden oasis and take in the lush, surprisingly private lot beautifully landscaped with mature trees, perennial gardens, pathways, and a patio area ideal for outdoor dining. The second story deck offers the perfect gathering spot for warm summer nights, your personal retreat above it all. Upstairs, the second floor delivers three generous bedrooms, a full guest bath, a large game room, and a stunning primary ensuite with jetted tub. Then there's the bonus that sets this property apart from everything else on the market: a separate ADU unit and a finished basement with direct access to the garage, giving you an additional income stream and the flexibility to house extended family. Live in the main home, offset your mortgage with the short-term rental. The income potential is exceptional. Location? As good as it gets in South Burlington. Directly across from Cairns Arena, baseball and soccer fields, and just minutes from all area schools, restaurants, shopping, and I-89. This is a dream home that also makes financial sense. Don't let it pass you by.
