This quintessential Queen Anne Victorian has all the desirable historic charm and detail, and yet is renovated, upgraded and lovingly maintained! Original woodwork, beautiful solid doors, ornate crown and baseboard molding and gleaming hard wood floors are upstairs and down. The high ceilings, impressive entry and front stairwell add to this home's grandeur. Its many large windows let sunlight flood in, and an eat-in kitchen flows easily into a cozy family room. The living room, dining room and library are stately rooms, perfect for large parties or just for sitting by the pellet stove with a good book. The library could also be a 1st floor bedroom. The bedrooms are spacious, most with great closet space. An attic bedroom/finished area has its own three-quarter bath with claw foot tub. This impressive house once had a mother-in-law suite on the second floor and now the MILS kitchen, with its original cupboards and sink, makes a fantastic 2nd floor laundry. The carriage barn houses a professional office (520' finished sf) with a conference room, three offices and a full bath. This space could easily be made into an apartment, a place for Grandparents or Airbnb; so many possibilities for this wonderful structure! The nearly 1/2 acre yard has gracious lawns and landscaped gardens with a rare multi-trunk Japanese Lilac tree. This property, within Montpelier's National Register Historic District, is just a stone's throw from the Statehouse, Downtown Montpelier and I-89!
