This 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-level home on owned land along the Winooski River Inlet offers a peaceful escape with deeded water access at Burlington's coveted cove, with boating access to Lake Champlain. Launch kayaks or small boats steps from your door and soak in the stunning waterfront scenery. Spacious primary bedroom features an en-suite with a handicap-accessible shower and separate bath/shower, while two additional bedrooms provide ample space for family and friends. A comfy family room with a fireplace, open dining area, and a bright second bath with a skylight enhance the home's charm. Recent upgrades include a new furnace, oil tank, chimney, garage doors, back deck, fresh paint, and front entry flooring, plus newer appliances and roof. Knotty pine walls and soft carpet add warmth, while tall ceilings and multiple living spaces ensure comfort. Outside, enjoy a private backyard lined with mature trees, direct access to the bike trail, and a 2-car garage with electricity and a loft for extra storage. Located minutes from downtown Burlington, Malletts Bay, Leddy Park, and UVM Medical Center, this home blends adventure and tranquility in a sought-after setting. Your perfect nature retreat awaits! Per owner, there has been no intrusion of water in the house or basement/crawl space in recent years during the heavy rains or during hurricane Irene. This is a cozy sanctuary near city amenities yet far enough away to enjoy all that nature offers.
