Bennington, VT | 301 Elm Street

Description

Set on a 0.25-acre corner lot, this classic 4-bedroom home offers the space, character, and friendly atmosphere that make Elm Street so appealing. Sidewalks invite evening strolls and dog walks, neighbors gather on their porches, and it's a favorite destination for trick-or-treaters each Halloween. Next to the Elm Street Market, one block from Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, and close to downtown restaurants, theater, and parks, the location is exceptionally convenient while still feeling like a true residential neighborhood. Inside, generous rooms, abundant natural light, hardwood floors, wide moldings, and original architectural details give the home warmth and personality. The spacious living room offers flexibility for gathering, relaxing, or creating multiple seating areas, while the adjoining dining room provides an inviting setting for everyday meals and entertaining. The bright kitchen features abundant wood cabinetry, generous counter space, a farmhouse-style sink, gas range, and direct access to the rear deck. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a full bath, offering ample flexibility for household needs, guests, a home office, or creative space. The primary bedroom includes two closets, and each bedroom has a ceiling fan and overhead light. The full basement houses the laundry and utilities, provides useful storage, and includes an additional toilet. There's a hot air furnace, Rinnai water heater, 100-amp panel, and town water/sewer. Outside, the rear deck overlooks the lawn, established garden beds, and a partially fenced area. A detached one-car garage adds convenient parking, storage, or workshop potential. The home is comfortable and offers a strong foundation. Exterior painting and porch restoration will be up to the next owner, creating an opportunity to refresh the property, make it their own, and build equity over time. With its gracious proportions, original charm, outdoor space, and exceptional location, 301 Elm St is ready for its next chapter.
