Burlington Home of the Week: 230 Winn St.

Prospective homebuyers may remember this meticulously-maintained colonial on the market earlier this fall, and it was likely considered a good opportunity, for the comfort, but maybe not for the wallet. New owners will want to take another look at this totally renovated home again as it has received a significant $60,000 price reduction and now is being offered at $539,900.

For homebuyers not already familiar, this attractive and spacious 30 year-old home received comprehensive renovations just eight shorts years ago with beautifully modernized upgrades, styles and materials that today's homeowners would choose themselves. It also still boasts its quality foundation and architectural charm, however, and the eclectic blend of its past and present shine throughout every room.

A beautiful grand foyer graciously welcomes guests into the 3,000 square foot home and a main level that includes many larger common rooms, quaint intimate spaces and even sleeping accommodations. The 13 x 15 square foot living room boasts a lovely bay window that drenches the space as well as the neighboring 12 x 13 square foot dining area with natural sunlight. That dining area spills effortlessly into a 11 x 13 square foot eat-in kitchen that includes ceramic tiled flooring, granite surfaces, wood cabinets and recessed lighting. An 11 x 13 square foot sitting room provides the perfect cozy setting to relax and unwind as well as the 11 x 12 square foot four-season sunroom that overlooks an oversized raised deck, patio, above-ground pool and fenced-in manicured landscape This level also includes two bedrooms at 14 x 15 and 11 x 13 square feet and a full bath for residents who prefer single-floor living.

The second floor offers three bedrooms; a 13 x 16 square foot master suite that is packed with deluxe features, including a walk-in closet, tray ceiling and a custom marble-tiled bath with a Jacuzzi and separate shower and two additional bedrooms at 13 x 13 and 12 x 13 square feet. It also provides a full family bath, laundry area and a handy 10 x 13 square foot study.

The finished basement will probably yield the most activity with its impressive 14 x 24 square foot family room with a fireplace and ceramic flooring and a half bath.

This property, with its solid roots and extensive renewals, offers the best of both worlds to its residents with an unyielding character that if often lacking in today's new construction. And now with its modified price, homebuyers cannot afford not to tour this beautiful home. Visit the open house this weekend and see for yourself!
