172 Deforest Rd, Burlington, VT 05401

This Hill Section home is impeccable, inside and out! The owner has touched every surface since he took ownership in 1994. The exterior sets the stage for what awaits you inside. The front of the house is landscaped with specimen trees and bushes, blue stone walkways, and hedges. The side yard has a beautiful custom fence that is lined by flowering, dwarf crab apple trees that create a privacy hedge for the yard. The poured concrete driveway, the updated slate front steps, the slate covered foundation, and 25-inch copper flashing on the roof edge are examples of the owners attention to every detail and improvement. From the kitchen and mudroom/garage additions, newer exterior siding and windows, the architectural shingled roof - every improvement was done thoughtfully and in keeping with the original character of the house. Inside, a generous front entry offers access to a large living room and dining room. French doors give access to a lovely, shaded patio and a professionally designed Japanese-style garden. To the west of the patio is the private fenced yard. An updated playroom/workout room on lower level is great bonus space, and expansion is possible in the walk-up attic. This home is located on one of Burlington most desirable streets with buried utilities, low traffic, and views of the lake around every street corner! Only a few blocks from UVM, UVM Medical Center, and less than a mile from Lake Champlain, downtown, and the bike bath. #Prideofownership is the hash tag
