Is the condo adorable? Absolutely. Cozy, well-maintained, welcoming, and thoughtfully laid out with 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, very low HOA fees, and in a pet-friendly community. But let's be honest...the real star of the show is what's waiting just outside the back door. Tucked into the very last building in the community, this coveted location backs directly to the neighborhood garden and 23 acres of peaceful woods, creating a level of privacy and tranquility that's almost unheard of in condo living. Enjoy your morning coffee gazing at trees instead of parking lots, wander the quiet trails, or get to work on your private space within the sweet community garden and spend the summer growing flowers or vegetables. It feels more like living beside a nature preserve than in a condominium. Friendly neighbors, a welcoming community, and the fact that homes in this back building rarely become available only add to the appeal. Rentals are currently at capacity, but with a very short waitlist there is certainly future potential for keeping this as an investment property. The condo itself has many recent updates including a new hot water heater, lovely vinyl plank flooring, and a new washer/dryer. There is covered parking with additional lockable storage space (think: snow tires/kayaks!), another assigned parking space, and plenty of parking for guests. All this is just minutes from downtown Burlington, the shores of Lake Champlain, the scenic Island Line Trail, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. Colchester is only about 10 minutes to downtown Burlington and the bike path offers miles of waterfront recreation right nearby. Cute? Of course. But opportunities to own one of the most private and peaceful condos in a community like this don't come along very often. Especially at this price!
