Set on one of Burlington's most admired streets, directly across from Brock Park, this historic residence is part of an iconic collection of four HOMES inspired by San Francisco's famous "Painted Ladies." Enjoy an exceptional walk score with Spencer Smith Park, the waterfront, boutique shopping, cafes, restaurants & year-round festivals all just a short stroll from your front door. The enclosed front porch overlooks an English garden and flagstone patios, creating the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. Inside, original baseboards and mouldings, antique pine flooring, & 9' ceilings blend seamlessly with modern updates. The custom kitchen features heated ceramic floors, quality cabinetry, s/s appliances, and a casual dining area overlooking the side yard. The living room is centered around a gas fireplace and opens to a versatile flex space, ideal as a home office, den, dining room, or easily converted main-floor guest bedroom to suit your lifestyle. A functional mudroom with distinctive glass block accents completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features its own electric fireplace, while the luxurious bathroom showcases heated floors, Victorian-inspired fixtures & custom tile inlays. A 2nd bedroom provides comfortable space for guests, a nursery, or a home office. The private backyard is designed for low-maintenance outdoor living, featuring a large deck with BBQ gas line, landscaped gardens, a custom storage shed, and a partially fenced yard—offering a peaceful retreat just moments from the waterfront. Complete with parking for 2 vehicles, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive character home where historic charm, modern comfort, and one of Burlington's most walkable locations come together.
