Property Description

Set on 1.06 acres in a highly desirable Montpelier location, this beautifully maintained 1820 home offers a rare blend of historic character, modern efficiency, and direct access to nature. The property abuts over 9 acres of conserved meadow, providing peaceful views, privacy, and a truly special setting just minutes from downtown. Inside, the home features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and private bath. The layout offers both functionality and charm, with a large second bedroom, an inviting upper landing, and a convenient first-floor half bath with laundry. Original details shine throughout, including stunning tin ceilings in the dining room, while thoughtful updates enhance everyday living.

Extensive improvements have been completed over the years, including a two-bay garage with breezeway, updated first-floor windows, and professionally designed landscaping with established gardens and stonework. The recently upgraded driveway includes comprehensive drainage solutions, complemented by a full interior basement system with French drain, sump pump, vapor barrier, and dehumidification. Energy efficiency is a standout feature, with owned solar panels, a companion hot water system, blown-in cellulose insulation, and additional weatherization upgrades.
