You've heard the saying: location, location, location. This place has that and then some. But there's another saying, less popular, equally true: buy the worst house in the best neighborhood. Why? Two words. E Q U I T Y. This unit is move-in ready and completely livable right now, AND has room to grow into whatever you want it to be, for a price that'll make you quit your side hustle. Make this home your masterpiece. The bones are solid, stretched across stacked living space that goes like this: On the top floor you'll find your massive great room with 13-foot-tall curved ceilings and wicked thick concrete walls, so quiet you'll think you're in a sensory deprivation tank. Then you'll see the solarium. My friends: THE SOLARIUM. Great for plants and soaking up sunlight. From there, step right out onto your private deck. All six units in this community have a solarium and deck (they don't call it Sun Terrace Condominiums for nothing), some are just WAY more affordable than others. Next floor down is your main entry, where you'll find your perfectly functional, make-it-whatever-you-want-whenever-you're-ready kitchen and dining area, all on classic hardwood floors. Natural light pours in through the unique skylight running right through the two top levels, and if you ever want a fireplace, that skylight could be converted into a chimney. Options, people. Next floor: two bedrooms, a full bath, and more storage, with even MORE hidden storage underneath. Like, what?! Then you'll find your bonus room, extra storage, and laundry. Outside: raised garden beds, green space, and off-street parking. You read that right. Never think about Burlington parking again. Everything the city has to offer is moments away: the hospital, universities, Church Street, legendary restaurants and nightlife, City Market, the waterfront, the bike path, banks, post office, and yes, you're right on the bus line. Investors take note: the HOA has no rental cap. No cap! Get it before you regret it.
