Gracious, Private City Home

1.79 acres in Burlington's Hill Section, this property offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and proximity to some of the area's most recognized destinations, including the University of Vermont, UVM Medical Center, Lake Champlain, and Burlington Country Club. The home is positioned more than 100 feet from the road, elevated on a generous lot that allows for a quiet setting with surrounding green space. A comprehensive renovation completed in 2023 brought significant upgrades throughout the interior and exterior, with careful attention to materials, layout, and long-term functionality. The kitchen has been expanded and reconfigured with commercial-grade appliances, walnut cabinetry, and a 10-foot center island designed for both everyday use and larger gatherings. Adjacent living spaces connect seamlessly to an expansive deck exceeding 1,000 square feet, complemented by a gas fire pit and updated exterior finishes, including new architectural roofing. All bedrooms include en-suite baths, and a large laundry room with storage and sink are located on the 2nd floor as well. A redesigned mudroom enhances daily organization and storage. The oversized garage adds flexibility for vehicles or other equipment. The basement can be accessed from the garage as well as from the interior, and features an extra-large infrared sauna. A fully permitted one-bedroom accessory dwelling unit provides additional versatility, complete with its own kitchen, office area, and private staircase - well suited for extended stays or independent living arrangements. The grounds have been extensively improved with new landscaping and an irrigation system, creating a gracious outdoor environment that reflects Vermont's seasonal appeal, while remaining easy to maintain.

✱ If you engage a brokerage firm to represent you in a real estate transaction, you are responsible for compensating the firm according to the terms of your brokerage service agreement. Compensation to be paid under a brokerage service agreement is solely and entirely a matter of negotiation between an agent and client and is in no way controlled, fixed, or pre-established. Historically, cooperation fees were published in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for each Listing. Recent changes to the rules, prohibit the publication of these fees in the MLS but allow the display on a brokerage's website for their Clients' listings.
