42 Hardy AvenueBurlington, VT 05408Price: $459,000

There's a lot to love about 42 Hardy Avenue, starting with a New North End location that puts some of Burlington's favorite places practically in your backyard. From this 3-bedroom home you can hop on the Burlington Bike Path for a morning ride, take the dog to Starr Farm Dog Park, spend a summer afternoon at Leddy Beach, or pick up whatever you need at the Ethan Allen Shopping Center - all just moments from home. Inside, the ease of single-level living is paired with years of thoughtful care. In addition to 3 bedrooms, there is also an additional room to be used as an office, nursery, or den. Meaningful improvements include a newer roof, updated electrical and plumbing, extensive insulation, replacement basement windows, newer gutters, and a centrally ducted heat pump for efficient heating and cooling. The kitchen has also seen updates, and a sliding glass door creates a natural connection between the home and backyard. Outside, just off the kitchen, a patio offers an inviting spot for summer grilling or dinner outdoors. Established perennials fill the yard with seasonal color, complemented by raspberry bushes, a blueberry bush, and a beautiful rose bush. Even the practical spaces have been given attention. The attached garage features a finished epoxy floor and exterior EV charger, while the full basement provides abundant storage and room for all the extras. Well-cared-for and ready to be enjoyed, this home is an inviting place to settle in, make your own, and feel right at home!
