789 Sunset Road, Burlington

Few properties in South Burlington offer this: over 100 feet of frontage on half an acre, steps from the waterfront. A solid red-brick custom built bungalow, drawn from Southern low-country architecture, sits on it — modest from the street, much larger once you're inside. Engineered hardwood runs the length of the main floor beneath tray ceilings and deep crown moulding. Large windows look out onto the gardens, the yard, and the pool. A formal dining room and a flexible sitting room, suited to an office or a second lounge, sit near the entry. Further in, the living space gathers around a gas fireplace and opens onto a breakfast area. A mudroom off the garage serves as the laundry room. Nearly 3,000 square feet above grade hold three main-floor bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. The primary suite is set apart: a five-piece ensuite with heated floors, a walk-in closet built for both summer and winter wardrobes, and its own door onto the backyard porch. A loft above works well as an office or studio. Below, over 2,200 square feet of finished living space in a 2017 renovation: engineered hardwood, two more bedrooms, both large enough to function as true suites, a full bathroom, a wet bar, a second gas fireplace, entertainment area, and plenty of storage. Outside, a covered porch with its own wood-burning fireplace opens onto a pool with several recently refreshed components, including a new liner, lighting, and app-controlled filtration. The home has also had updated drainage, replaced basement windows, a rebuilt flat roof, app-based security, and EV-ready service. This kind of property, in this location, rarely comes to market.
