About this home
Rare opportunity!! This versatile 2,007 sq. ft. Colonial is set on a level half-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering exceptional flexibility for today’s lifestyle. The home features two levels of living space, each with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The second-floor unit is a legal in-law apartment that may be rented to non-blood-related occupants, creating an ideal opportunity for extended family, multi-generational living, guests, or potential rental income. Thoughtfully updated throughout with all-new hardwood floors, trim, doors, custom closets, and kitchens with stainless steel appliances, along with two new water heaters, separate heating and A/C zones, energy-efficient windows, and so much more. Exterior improvements include a newer roof (2015), new gutters, new decks, and a new garage door. The oversized driveway accommodates 11+ cars while an additional 242 sq. ft. front-to-back bonus room in the basement (not included in GLA) just needs flooring to complete the space. Also included in the sale is an additional 6,280 sq. ft. lot with frontage on both Alma Road and Phyllis Avenue, offering even more possibilities for the new owner. Conveniently located near shopping, schools, restaurants, and everyday amenities, this unique property offers space, flexibility, income potential, and additional land—all in one exceptional opportunity!
North Burlington, located between the Burlington Mall area and the Shawsheen River corridor, is a residential and commercial Burlington neighborhood with wooded edges and a retail-lined main drag. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Middlesex Turnpike and Mall Road junction, where big-box storefronts, casual eateries, and service shops cluster in a steady hum of activity. Burlington Mall serves as a central indoor promenade for shopping and dining. Mary Cummings Park adds a broad sweep of trails and conservation land that shapes the area’s outdoorsy rhythm. Housing trends toward mid-century colonials and newer townhome pockets set along curving streets. The landscape shifts from busy arterials to quiet cul-de-sacs near wetlands and tree cover.
