About This Home

For the first time in many years, this cherished Barre home is ready for its next chapter. Thoughtfully maintained and filled with character, this spacious property offers the flexibility today's buyers are searching for. The main level features a generous primary suite with convenient access to the shared bath and first-floor laundry, creating an ideal layout for one-level living. The beautifully updated kitchen showcases granite countertops and opens to comfortable living spaces perfect for everyday life and entertaining. Upstairs, a former in-law living area provides outstanding flexibility for multigenerational living, extended family, guests, hobbies, a private home office, or transition to duplex for rental income. Step outside to enjoy a shaded rear deck overlooking the backyard, or one of the two covered front porches; an inviting place for summer cookouts, morning coffee, or relaxing after work. A detached two-car garage with abundant storage above offers room for vehicles, tools, seasonal décor, and more. Located just minutes from Barre's vibrant downtown, Central Vermont Medical Center, shopping, restaurants, schools, and Interstate 89, this home combines neighborhood charm with everyday convenience. The property is located within a FEMA flood hazard area; however, the sellers are proactively pursuing an Elevation Certificate to help buyers better understand potential flood insurance requirements, if any. Come see why this home has been loved for decades, and imagine making it yours for the next thirty years.
