Live where Burlington comes alive. Welcome to Southwind by the Lake - the South End's premier townhome community just moments from Lake Champlain. Set along tree-lined streets with a village feel, this coveted end-unit delivers the rare balance of privacy, recreation, and city convenience. Inside, high ceilings, archways, abundant windows, fresh paint, and hardwood floors create a bright, open atmosphere that feels refined and welcoming. A striking double-sided gas fireplace anchors the main living space - perfect for crisp Vermont evenings. The kitchen is built for gathering. Granite countertops, warm wood cabinetry, and an expansive island with breakfast bar make it the true heart of the home. From the dining area, step into your heated three-season porch and out to a private patio framed by mature trees and perennial gardens - an effortless extension of your living space and a peaceful retreat in the city. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private 3/4 bath, dual closets, and an oversized walk-in ideal for a home office or dressing room. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the 2nd floor. And then - the unexpected highlight. A 3rd-floor loft with skylights leads to a rooftop widow's walk deck, offering an elevated perch above it all. With 2,500 square feet of living space, an attached 2-car garage, and Southwind's sought-after amenities including a pool and tennis courts - this home delivers low-maintenance luxury. Moments to Oakledge Park, Red Rocks, the bike path, and the South End Art District. Minutes to Downtown, I-89, and UVM Medical Center. If you've been waiting for the right South End opportunity, this is it.
