Make the Five Sisters Neighborhood in Burlington your new home! Step into this beautiful, well-maintained historic home on Catherine Street in Burlington’s Five Sisters Neighborhood. After 27 glorious years here – raising our children, living and sharing in this wonderful community, we are down-sizing to a much smaller house. We have absolutely loved this house, and the neighborhood. Relaxing, chatting, and dining on the front porch, enjoying our large fenced-in backyard, playing lawn games, gardening, and gathering with friends. This home has two sides - a primary residence side with 3 bedrooms, a full attic, and a large enclosed back porch, and a second very nice one-bedroom apartment on the other side. Each side has 2 living rooms, a spacious kitchen, enclosed back porch, back deck, and a beautiful front porch for all. This home provides easy potential for living with extended family/friends, or for income supplementation with a rental unit. The primary residence has an open floor plan with great view lines running front to back, including a living room with a cozy woodstove, a middle dining/living room, and a spacious kitchen. The house has maple floors in the living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms. In the back is an enclosed porch with large windows looking out into the beautiful back yard, plus a back deck. The whole house is infused with natural light, has lots of windows, and there’s an uplifting character and feel to this home. The main house also has a spacious and comfortable 3rd floor attic space, with a warm gas fireplace, several bonus rooms perfect for home office, away space, playspace and entertaining guests, craft studio, and plenty of storage. Space for hobbies, collections, you name it. There are also several attic crawl spaces for more premium storage. This home has had some big investments in the last few years, with a new roof, and new heating systems; it’s a well insulated, energy efficient home. The fenced-in yard includes many beautiful perennial flower beds and garden spaces, a healthy gorgeous sugar maple tree, a woodshed, and a garage with an art studio and stained glass window built into the back. Plenty of workshop and project spaces for your hobbies in the full basement and in the garage and art studio. There are driveways on both sides of the house, with plenty of off-street parking. Room for 2-3 cars on each side, or a trailer, camper or boat. Fantastic neighbors all around. Enjoy Neighborhood gatherings, street parties, plant swaps, holiday pop-up sales, caroling, and more. Amazing location, within easy walking/biking distance to the bike path, the lake and local beaches, sunset viewing, parks, schools, community gardens, the South End Co-op, Downtown, and the Pine Street Arts District, with galleries, restaurants, breweries, bike shops, a hardware store, and more. Also easy access the Interstate 89 and the airport from the south end. You’ll have to come see it in person to really get a sense of it, as this house is so much larger than the numbers on paper reveal. It’s 4 levels, basement to 3rd floor, each slightly over 1000 square feet. The 3rd floor is a very nice, large and comfortable usable space, yet doesn’t ‘show up’ as finished space because the interior ceiling height is just under 7’ – and 7’ ceilings are required to call it a finished space and calculate it into the overall square footage. The enclosed back porches are also bonus spaces. Come take a look, check out this wonderful home and all of its assets, the street and the neighborhood. It really doesn’t get any better than this.
