4071 Melba Place

Set on half an acre at the end of a cul-de-sac, behind a stone wall and mature trees, this Shoreacres home feels hidden in plain sight. Undergoing a major renovation and substantial addition in 2007, its footprint now extends over 3,500 square feet, with vaulted ceilings, oversized picture windows that frame the surrounding greenery like artwork, and a layout that shifts easily between open gathering spaces and private corners. The kitchen lifts beneath skylights, its Juliette balcony overlooking the trees, while a gas fireplace brings warmth into the flow between dining and seating. The family room climbs higher still, framed by a full-height fireplace and windows that stretch floor to ceiling. Just a few steps above, the primary suite occupies its own level. A skylit walk-in closet and an ensuite wrapped in exotic wood and a deep soaker surround make it feel like a study in quiet detail. The lower level walks out to a sequence of outdoor rooms: a tiki hut with full hydro, a pergola-covered dining area, and a fire pit lounge drawn together by lighting and irrigation. Inside, the same level holds a fireplace, billiards, and custom built-ins for film or sport. Off the family room, a gym or office takes in the greenery through wide windows. Updates include a complete kitchen renovation and interior painting in 2023, alongside a Miele dishwasher in 2024. The geothermal system delivers efficient, low-cost climate control year-round. Moments from the lake, downtown Burlington, trails, and sought-after Tuck and Nelson schools, the address combines privacy with access in one of the citys most sought-after enclaves.
