One of several stately properties on Main Street, this 1847 Gothic Revival-style home can be found on both the Vermont and National Registers of Historic Places. Original charm remains throughout, with features such as gingerbread house-like cornices, wide trim and moldings, and nearly 9-foot ceilings in the main living areas. Enter through the spacious front porch into an entry area, which offers access to a large closet and laundry room. The kitchen lies beyond and includes a Hearthstone gas heating stove, entry to attached cold storage areas, and two enclosed porches that offer eastern views of the large yard. A large living room with hardwood flooring sits at the front of the home, and the formal dining room is situated in the middle with the stairway to the 2nd floor. A first-floor bedroom with an en-suite bath completes this level. The second floor offers a flexible layout with two bedrooms currently combined into a large single room (easily divided again), an additional bedroom, a ¾ bath, a bonus room, and surprisingly large closets. With over 2,300 square feet, the layout can be adapted to suit a variety of needs—all on a 0.82-acre lot in the heart of the city. The current owners have updated the old knob-and-tube wiring throughout the home and installed a new boiler. Looking to live and work on site? The Residential/Limited Business District zoning allows for conditional uses such as offices, professional studios, and more. Be sure to view the 3D virtual tour!
