Barre City, VT | 40 Jefferson Street

Description

Come see this gambrel colonial in Barre City, where the original stained woodwork and pocket doors are still in place and the third floor is now a room of its own, ready for your finishing touches. A covered porch runs the full width of the front, on an in-town street with sidewalks. The front door opens to a hall with a carved staircase and a brick fireplace with an arched firebox. Glass doors lead into the living room, where a wide window looks out on the porch. Slide the five-panel pocket doors back and the living room opens to the dining room, with its chandelier and leaded glass window. Hardwood floors run through these front rooms, with tall baseboards and rosette-cornered casings in a stained finish. The butler's pantry has built-in cabinets with glass doors on the uppers, a spot for the good dishes. The kitchen is where the house turns current. There are stone counters and cherry-tone cabinets, a gas range, and an apron-front sink set under two windows. A half bath sits off the kitchen, and a tiled mudroom at the back of the house keeps boots and coats at the door. The back door opens to new steps. Beyond them are a stone patio and a yard enclosed by a white privacy fence. Upstairs, softwood floors run through the bedrooms, most of them under sloped ceilings that follow the gambrel roofline. A leaded glass transom tops the window at the head of the stairs. The primary bedroom has its own three-quarter bath, with a tiled walk-in shower behind frameless glass. A full bath with a tub opens off the hall. A walk-in closet runs between two of the rooms, and there's a big linen closet and built-in storage. Then there's one more flight. The third floor room is finished, with some trim and carpet still to go. It gives the house a third level, with room for an office or a studio. The basement stairs are new, and the furnace flue was fitted with a stainless steel liner in September 2025. The woodwork in the front rooms is original. The kitchen and the baths are not.
