17 Brook DriveBurlington, VT 05408Price: $649,900

This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home sits in one of Burlington's most sought-after neighborhoods - the kind of street where people stay for decades. Hardwood floors run throughout the first floor, the layout is comfortable and spacious, and the whole place has the kind of quiet character that's hard to manufacture. The important stuff is already taken care of: new roof, windows, boiler and finished basement. And there's a large room with laundry, used as a mudroom - waiting for cubbies or storage. The location is where this one really shines. Ethan Allen Homestead trails and Ethan Allen Park are right at your doorstep - hiking, biking, and wooded walks without getting in a car. North Ave beaches put Lake Champlain swimming and paddling within easy reach all summer long. The Burlington Bike Path connects you in both directions, running toward the beaches to the north and downtown to the south. UVM, Church Street, and the waterfront are all a short ride away - close enough to feel like yours, far enough to feel like a neighborhood. Move-in ready with real room to grow - homes like this don't come up often in Burlington. Schedule a showing and see it for yourself.
