1394 Main Street, Saint Johnsbury, VT, 05819
About This Home
A St. Johnsbury classic with modern appeal, this beautifully renovated 1859 property offers a rare combination of historic character and strong rental potential. The main building features two stunning one-bedroom apartments, each with open layouts, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, central air, in-unit laundry, private entrances, off-street parking, and a proven rental history. The lower level includes professional office space that could continue as a commercial rental or potentially be converted to additional residential use with proper approvals and modifications. The flexible layout of the main building also opens the door to a variety of configurations - expand the commercial footprint, reimagine the apartments into a larger residential unit, or tailor the space to suit your vision. Antique light fixtures, fireplaces, and detailed woodwork highlight the home’s timeless charm while energy-efficient updates add comfort and value. An adjacent single-family home adds even more flexibility, featuring a welcoming kitchen, dining room, living room, enclosed porch, full bath, and upstairs bedrooms perfect for an owner-occupant or an additional income stream. All this in a prime Main Street location close to local businesses, schools, and community events, where history meets opportunity.
