37 Densmore DriveEssex Junction, VT 05452Price: $309,000

Just bring your moving boxes! 37 Densmore Drive is a lovely end unit in Village Glen East with fresh paint, mini-split heat/cooling and updated, low-maintenance flooring. With the big stuff taken care of, you can focus on just making it your own. Move in on Saturday, and by Sunday you could be out on the quiet, private deck with your coffee, planning your next weekend project, or skipping it entirely. Now here's the best part: rentals are allowed! That's not something you see every day around here. Live in it now and rent it down the road, or skip straight to being a landlord. Either way, it's an affordable way to get your foot in the door. The first floor is open and easy, with the kitchen, dining area, and living room all flowing together, plus a pantry and a handy half bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath, and the washer and dryer are right there where the laundry actually happens. Being an end unit means fewer shared walls and extra windows, so you get plenty of natural light. Mini-split heat pumps keep you cozy in January and cool in July. The covered carport comes with locked storage for your skis, kayak, or that bin of holiday decorations you swear you'll sort through someday. Best of all, the HOA handles snow removal, landscaping, and master insurance, so your shovel can go into early retirement. You can walk to Five Corners for coffee or dinner out, and you're about 10 minutes from Williston and 20 from Burlington, with the Essex Experience close by. Bring the pup, too - pets welcome. Easy to own, easy to live in, easy to rent. Come see for yourself!
