If these walls could talk, they would tell the story of how this house became the oldest, best-loved home in So. Burlington. Built circa 1806, it retains the allure of an early 19th century home, with original beams, pine floors and pegs, and a Ben Franklin insert stove. Everyone who lived here has taken loving care of the property, especially the most recent owners. Their renovations include a full bath with large tiled shower, skylight, and adjacent laundry/mud room, an upgraded kitchen with a remarkable center island in keeping with the style of the home, and a captivating German stained glass window that tells its own story. Two staircases lead to the second floor; one was rebuilt, yet the original banister and newels were preserved; the other, a circular iron staircase, leads to the large primary bedroom with an east-facing palladium window. The second floor also has 2 more bedrooms and a charming bath with clawfoot tub. Venture into the backyard and you'll find yourself in a sanctuary. A large lawn and many gardens, vegetable and perennial, have been well-tended over the years and are enclosed by thoughtful landscaping. An adorable garden shed is adjacent to the 2-car garage, and a patio just off the kitchen is where you'll spend your time midst the oasis of greenery and colorful blooms. Everything about this property is unique and interesting, from the front door to the backyard. The location provides easy access to all of So. Burlington's amenities. Showings begin 8/3
