36 Hillcrest RoadBurlington, VT 05401Sale Price: $1,072,500

This stately Hill Section Colonial is located on one of Burlington's most picturesque streets. Every space is warm, inviting, and filled with light. Updates over the years have been performed with exquisite attention to detail. A 1997 renovation/expansion added a mudroom entry and a bright, open kitchen/dining/living space: the heart of the home, perfect for gathering. The chef's kitchen includes a Wolf range and limestone island, and the adjacent dining area sits in a huge bay window facing the back yard & gardens. A vaulted-ceilinged living space (sunroom) has tall French doors opening onto the patio. The original section of the home includes a living room with custom built-ins, a flexible formal dining room or study, a powder room, and a cozy 3-season 'Garden Room'. 3 bright bedrooms & 2 full baths are on the 2nd floor, including a Primary Bedroom with walk-in closet and an updated, modern Primary Bath. This home sits back from the street on an absolutely stunning private lot. A major landscape/hardscape renovation in 2012 transformed the property. The driveway was widened and replaced with brick. The stone patio was expanded and stone walls were built, creating an open, level lawn area surrounded by soaring trees. Thoughtfully placed perennials bloom throughout the warmer months. The home needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated; the feeling of the space and the grounds is what makes it truly special. This home has been cherished by its current owner, and it shows.
