499 South Prospect Street – Unit 6

HEAT INCLUDED! – Available Soon

Tucked away in Burlington’s desirable South Prospect neighborhood, this charming second-floor condo offers a rare balance of character, comfort, and convenience — all within close proximity to campus, the hospital, Downtown Burlington, and many of the city’s best restaurants, cafés, and outdoor spaces.

This is the kind of apartment that simply feels good to be in.

Featuring warm wood floors throughout, original wood blinds, oversized windows, and ceiling fans in every room, the space has a welcoming and lived-in charm that’s increasingly hard to find in Burlington rentals. The property receives exceptional natural light throughout the day, and the mature landscaping, large front yard, and beautiful backyard create an unexpectedly peaceful setting in the middle of the city.

The kitchen embraces the building’s original mid-century layout with a unique segmented design, complete with a pocket door that allows the kitchen to be fully closed off from the main living areas — a rare and surprisingly functional feature. The owner has also upgraded the kitchen with a large luxury refrigerator, magnetic knife wall, and hanging pot racks that make the space both practical and inviting for home cooks. The kitchen also features premium cork flooring, a material especially prized in kitchens for its comfort underfoot and softer feel during long periods of standing and cooking.

The bathroom features beautiful riverstone tile flooring, bringing a natural, earthy feel to the space.

Additional features include:

Heat included

Covered parking

Dedicated private basement storage unit (approximately 5x10)

Dedicated washer & dryer for the unit

Ceiling fans throughout

Freshly painted interior

Excellent natural light

Beautifully maintained grounds

One especially meaningful aspect of this home is the care behind it. The owner originally purchased this condo as her very first home before later moving in with her partner, and she has maintained a genuine affection for both the property and the surrounding community ever since. The apartment has also been lovingly cared for by the previous residents for over seven years.

Residents also benefit from direct communication with the owner, offering a more personal and responsive rental experience than many larger professionally managed buildings.

The building itself was thoughtfully designed with large roof overhangs that allow windows to remain open during rainstorms without concern for water entering the unit — one of many subtle features that make the property feel both practical and environmentally thoughtful. The condo also includes one designated basement storage area assigned specifically to the unit, helping maintain the clean and organized feel of the shared spaces throughout the building.
