73 Bower Street, South Burlington, VT 05403

Set on a corner lot in Dorset Farms, 73 Bower Street backs up to open meadow and woods, so the yard feels more private than you'd expect in the neighborhood. The west-facing backyard is enclosed by a new fence, so you get sunsets from the deck (with a retractable awning) and plenty of room for a soccer net, fire pit, and garden beds. The kitchen anchors the first floor with white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, a stacked stone backsplash, cherry floors, and a walk-in pantry. It has stainless appliances, including a gas range and a new fridge and dishwasher, plus lit glass-front cabinets. There's a big island with seating and a breakfast nook by the window. The kitchen opens right into the family room, where a gas fireplace sits between built-in shelves and sliders lead out to the deck. New light fixtures run throughout the home. Upstairs you'll find 4 bedrooms. The primary suite has two walk-in closets and its own bath, and the other three bedrooms have good closet space and lots of natural light. The finished basement has a bar for hosting, plus a flex room that works well as an office, gym, or storage. Behind the scenes, the home has a new boiler and hot water tank, a new washer and dryer, Nest thermostats, central A/C, and central vac. Out front there's a covered porch and a 2-car garage with epoxy floors. Dorset Farms has walking and biking trails and shared green space, and you're minutes from UVM Medical Center, shopping, and schools.
