Welcome home to this meticulously renovated gem in the heart of South Burlington, nestled on a sprawling half-acre lot with endless potential. Step into a sunlit first floor where the living room flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen complete with sleek new appliances, ample counter space, and modern finishes. New windows and siding flood the space with natural light, while three generous bedrooms and a fully renovated bathroom offer comfort and style. Off the kitchen, relax on your 19x12 three-season screened porch overlooking a fully fenced backyard,perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Below, a wonderfully finished basement awaits with a wet bar, entertainment area, another three-quarter bath, and ample gathering space for movie nights or game days. Enjoy peace of mind with all-new electrical, furnace, and central air for efficient, hassle-free living. The adjacent second lot features a 32x12 detached shop, unlocking options from home expansion, an ADU or potential subdivision—ideal for hobbyists, entrepreneurs, or just a bit more room.
