St. Johnsbury, VT | 1536 Memorial Drive

Welcome to 1536 Memorial Dr in St. Johnsbury, a property built in 1850 & lovingly owned by the same family for over 60 years. With the largest yard in the immediate area, timeless charm, and strong bones, this classic New England home is ready for its next chapter. Recent improvements include a new sewer line (2013) and a newer metal (part is standing seam) roof (2014 & 2016). When the roof was installed, the contractor praised the home’s remarkably sound timber frame, a testament to its quality construction. Inside, you’ll find a layout filled with natural light, including a lovely front room once used as a parlor for entertaining, options for bedrooms, and two more bedrooms upstairs. The home is heated by a propane boiler and wood stove, offering cozy comfort throughout Vermont’s seasons. The detached two-car garage, once used for a small business, now serves as excellent storage or workshop space. Windows, insulation, and electrical systems have been updated over the years, and the basement now features a new water heater, electrical panel, stairs, and floor supports following storm repairs in 2024. While the property is now partly (4’’ of a corner of the house) within a designated flood zone, the foundation remains in great condition from what we can see, and no damage occurred above the basement level. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone seeking an affordable home (in a mixed use zoning area) with space to grow and the freedom to update at your own pace.
