    What's special

    Substantial brick fireplaceWalk-out lower levelPractical mudroomAttached oversized garageEasy one-level livingCozy parlor stoveBuilt-in bookshelves
    In East Montpelier Center, this 4+/- acre property offers the kind of setting that makes country living feel grounded, useful, and full of possibility. The house is ready for updates, but the floor plan already gets the important things right, with easy one-level living at the heart of it. Come in through the practical mudroom from the attached oversized garage and step into a home that was built for real life. The kitchen and adjoining dining room, warmed by a cozy parlor stove, create an easy gathering space for weeknight dinners, long coffee mornings, and maple season conversations. At the front of the home, the large living room is filled with natural light from a generous bow window and anchored by a substantial brick fireplace and built-in bookshelves. Two bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full bath complete the main level. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level expands the living space with a recreation room with hearth and woodstove, a full bath, and a third bedroom, plus a large unfinished area with laundry hookups, utility space, and plenty of room for a workshop, gear storage, or future ideas. Outside, the land invites you to dig in and make it your own, with room for a big garden and a collection of outbuildings that opens the door to hobbies, storage, homesteading, or small-scale agricultural use. The 22 x 63 barn, sugarhouse, and shed speak to the property’s Vermont roots, where the original owner once kept six cows. This is a home with strong fundamentals, a great site, and an amazing East Montpelier location, ready for someone with vision to bring it back to life. Subject to Final Survey for lot line adjustment, currently in process and to Seller obtaining License to Sell to convey the property from Washington Probate Court.
