18 Forest Street Burlington, VT 05408

This carefully renovated home sits on a quiet side street in the New North End. With an eye to aesthetics as well as energy efficiency, this home is comfortable as well as beautiful! In addition to the two bedrooms, bathroom, and open concept kitchen-living-dining rooms, the house offers a separate office space, mudroom, and a covered porch that opens up to the large backyard. A detached garage with wood shed, a garden shed, and an unfinished basement with shelving provide plenty of storage. This home has established perennial gardens including 5 raised beds. The house was completely weatherized, highly insulated and rewired over the course of renovations. New Marvin windows were installed in 2012, as well as a new metal roof. The centrally located slate hearth and lined chimney are ready for your woodstove! There is custom woodwork throughout the house, including timber frame features, craftsman-style doors, a built-in breakfast nook, shelving, and a sleeping loft; all built with Vermont sourced Pine, Cherry and Hemlock. Beech floors are in the living and dining rooms, with maple floors in the two bedrooms and office. The bike path and North End beaches are a five minute walk away. With a bus running to downtown Burlington every 30 minutes from the corner, you could easily enjoy a car-free lifestyle here! This is a must see if you are interested in an environmentally-friendly, not-so-big house!
