5 Nason StreetSt. Albans City, VT 05478-2309Price: $375,000

This St. Albans home was renovated from top to bottom less than two years ago and it still feels like it was done yesterday. The current owners have been excellent stewards of the home so you can move in and get on with life with no projects waiting. The renovation covered just about everything. New vinyl windows went in throughout along with new flooring in every room. The kitchen has all new stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms were completely redone in white tile and have a clean, modern look. You won't find dated corners needing your attention or a running list of things to fix down the road. It's simply ready, and that means your first year here can go toward making it feel like home instead of catching up on repairs. The house sits well back from the road on .20 acres with an open and level front yard and backyard. Level ground means a yard you can actually use whether that's for an extensive garden, a play area, room for the dogs to run, or space to spread out for a summer cookout. The setback gives you some quiet and privacy from the street too. Having that much usable land this close to town is not easy to come by. Getting around is easy as well. I-89 is only two minutes away meaning Burlington is a 30-minute drive and heading north or south to other destinations is quick. If you commute, you'll appreciate not spending the first ten minutes of every trip on back roads just to reach the highway. And when you'd rather leave the car home, downtown St. Albans is within walking distance for coffee, dinner, errands, or an evening stroll. Plenty of buyers end up choosing between a house in great shape, a good piece of land, and a convenient location. Here you get all three. If you've been hoping to find a place you can move right into, with room outside and an easy commute to Burlington, this one is worth a look.
