If you love the charm of a classic Cape-style home with authentic mid-century character, this spacious house will delight you. Built in 1956, it retains many of its original features, including the period kitchen and bathroom fixtures, vintage-colored plastic tile, hardwood floors, and distinctive wide moldings. The home has received a thoughtful facelift over the past couple of years so things are fresh and bright. The exterior has also been freshly painted. The result is a spacious home that feels fresh and cared for while preserving its authentic mid-century personality. The main level offers a comfortable and practical Cape-style layout, entering from the spacious and bright fireplaced living room with gleaming hardwood floors into the convenient U-shaped kitchen and adjoining sunny dining room. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the first floor. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom with built-ins and second full bathroom create a private retreat. A large, partially finished sadjoining space offers potential for a fourth bedroom, home office, studio, or hobby space. The full basement adds more space, including a large recreation room, laundry area, and one-car garage. The home sits on a 0.26-acre lot on a peaceful, quiet street, offering a pleasant residential setting in a great walkable neighborhood. A covered patio at the back of the house provides a comfortable spot to relax. The "Hill" location is exceptionally convenient. Schools for students from kindergarten through 12th grade are within easy walking distance, including the renowned St. Johnsbury Academy. The home is also just a short distance from the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail and Main Street. For buyers looking for addition outdoor space or parking, a ½-acre +/- lot directly across the street with a shed, is available for an additional $15,000. The lot is currently being subdivided from a larger parcel, so transfer of the additional lot may occur after the sale of the main house.
