East Montpelier, VT | 1420 North Street

Description

Set on 5.25 private acres just minutes from downtown Montpelier, this East Montpelier home offers a rare combination of privacy and space that’s hard to find this close to town! Sunshine fills the expansive main living area, where hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and large windows create a warm, open feel, flowing seamlessly into the dining room and kitchen with windows looking out to the yard and seasonal mountain views. Just beyond the main living area, the layout opens into a comfortable secondary wing with two bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, and a family room centered around a Jøtul wood stove. Nearby, a separate office or study and the beautiful four-season porch with wood beams add even more flexibility and character. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom loft feels like a retreat of its own, with warm wood ceilings, a large walk-in closet, an additional bedroom, full bath, and laundry just down the hall. Outside, the setting is a major part of what makes this property so special. The large front deck is the perfect place to sit back and take in the stunning, colorful sunsets, and there’s plenty of room to garden in the fully fenced 30x40 garden space, along with established perennial gardens and all the peace and privacy that come with having 5+ acres of open, usable land. With two separate driveways, a detached garage, and an attached carport, there is no shortage of parking or storage space, while updates like the newer roof, recently replaced chimney liner, and Kohler whole-house generator add even more practicality. Minutes to downtown Montpelier, Hunger Mountain Co-op, I-89, area trails, and outdoor recreation, this property offers a tucked-away feel without giving up easy access to restaurants, shopping, and everyday essentials that make this location so desirable!
