A true one-of-a-kind property, lovingly cared for by the same owner for 35 years-and it shows. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road in one of South Burlington's most beloved neighborhoods, this charming Cape offers a rare combination of original character, warmth, privacy, and flexible living space. From the moment you step inside, the home feels welcoming and full of personality. Thoughtful vintage details include decorative wrought-iron railings, hardwood flooring, vintage-style sinks, and character-rich finishes throughout. The first floor offers a well-maintained chef's kitchen, dining area with built-ins, a spacious living room with gas fireplace, a cozy den and a charming half bath. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable living space for family and guests. The home is larger than it appears, with a unique one-bedroom basement apartment featuring two dedicated exterior entrances, as well as access from inside. It includes a full kitchen and a full bath, an office/study, and its own gas fireplace-ideal for extended family, guests, rental income, or a private workspace. Outside is where this property truly shines. Multi-level decks, a patio, winding garden paths, mature plantings, and established perennial gardens create a private oasis that feels worlds away, yet sits right in the heart of the city. There is a wonderful sense of seclusion and tranquility throughout the thoughtfully landscaped grounds. Enjoy the best of South Burlington and Burlington right at your doorstep, with easy access to the South End City Market, breweries and restaurants, UVM Medical Center, colleges and universities, downtown Burlington, the Greenway bike and walking path, Oakledge Beach, Red Rocks Park, public transportation, the post office, and I-89. A truly special home with timeless character, flexible spaces, and a setting you won't want to miss.
