In true mid-century style, the exterior is modest and unadorned, but inside is your mid-century dream house. Clean lines, minimalist, practical simplicity are the hallmarks of this architectural style. Built in 1960 and meticulously maintained by one owner for 59 years, almost everything is original. With an open floor plan this house lives larger than its square footage suggests. The front entry opens into the spacious living room with fireplace (never used). Hardwood floors are found under the carpeting. The living room is open to the eat-in kitchen which connect to the attached garage. Down a short hall, are 3 bedrooms and an original "double bathroom" connected by a tub shower in the center (see floor plan and photos). The basement is lined with transom windows has a wet bar and 1/2 bath. Though the finishes in this area appear to be original to the home, it is not counted in the finished square footage as it does not meet current fire safety code (and is considered "unfinished" by the City Assessor). This home is located in the heart of Burlington's vibrant South End and steps away from the Breweries and Pine St. Bittersweet is a a quiet side street. The wooded backyard provides habitat for wildlife and solitude for the homeowners. The original condition, open floor plan, and sun-filled space all contribute to the very positive energy of this home. Add some foundation plantings and a bathroom upgrade and this house will spark joy for decades to come!
