Some homes come with history. This one invites you to add your own. Built in the 1820s, this handsome Federal brick home pairs nearly two centuries of character with the kind of thoughtful updates that make everyday life feel easy. Currently configured as two residential apartments, it offers intriguing flexibility for multi-unit living or a return to a single-family home. The main residence unfolds with a generous kitchen and island, a central dining room, and a three-season sunroom reached through two sets of glass doors. Picture long dinners that drift out to the sunroom, quiet mornings with coffee, and Vermont evenings beside the Jotul LP fireplace. Built-in cabinetry, hardwood floors, a gracious entry foyer, mudroom, laundry, bedroom, and bath complete the main level, while the primary bedroom and bath are tucked upstairs. The second apartment has a personality of its own, with a modern kitchen, large living room, hardwood floors, laundry, updated bath with a classic clawfoot-style tub, and another three-season sunroom. It can also be easily connected to the main residence for single-family living. An extensive 2015 renovation included wiring, plumbing, and system upgrades, plus restored windows with added energy panels. Each apartment has its own Weil McLain LP boiler for heat and hot water, and a new roof was installed in 2025. Set on a level 0.4+/- acre lot in the UC-3 district, this is Vermont in-town living with the good stuff close at hand: shops, restaurants, the library, and Hubbard Park. Historic, flexible, and anything but ordinary. Come see what your version of life here could look like. Seller is Listing Agent.
