1940s vintage charm, preserved and restored touches of home from the 40s and 50s, including light fixtures, ornamental heating grates, bathroom fixtures, oak floors, and a wooden staircase that graces the living room for photos of all those time honored family events. Lovely two-story home with closets and cupboards galore, located on a corner lot in Burlington's New North End. Two full baths, one on each floor. Three good-sized bedrooms. The garage is attached and serves as a workshop for the current owner. A large shady, fenced yard and garden brimming with unique perennials provides enviable outdoor living space for family get-togethers and cook-outs. Old-fashioned glassed-in back porch provides great play space for kids or a lovely perch and play shelter for pets. Bonus: an insulated, wired, timber-frame tiny cottage situated in the garden offers a playhouse, garden retreat, or summer guest cottage. This home is on the bus line and Burlington bike path, only ¾ mile walking distance to Leddy Beach for those hot summer days and rambling nature hikes. Don't miss this unique opportunity to own a charming cottage and garden retreat less than 10 minutes (under 3 miles) from downtown Burlington. Freshly painted, gas heat, full basement for storage. Perfect home for a young family, or an ideal retreat for those wishing to retire and downsize while combining the convenience of downtown living with the walking, biking, beach, gardening and outdoor recreation activities that make Vermont a livable outdoor treasure.
