Every small Vermont town has its iconic vintage homes that catch the eye of every passer-by. This is one of Charlotte's finest. Built in 1893, this 3 bedroom Queen Anne Victorian on over 5 acres has been the owners' beloved home for over 40 years. It has been tastefully renovated in 1984 with the addition of a new kitchen, two baths, mudroom, and 2nd-floor laundry plus new plumbing and wiring throughout -no knob-and-tube or cast iron here! Inviting you into the home is a lovely covered front porch with cushioned chairs that set the scene for lazy summer afternoons. The front door opens to a central foyer and expansive living room with Green Mountain views from the large bay window. Built-in bookcases, a wood-burning fireplace, and a cushy window seat create a cozy ambiance. The eat-in kitchen at the back of the house features maple floors, custom cabinets, slate countertops, and a sunny breakfast alcove that opens to a landscaped stone patio. Just off the kitchen, leading out to a small back porch, is a new mudroom with wainscoting, slate floors and lots of storage cubbies. Rounding out the first floor is a large dining room with cherry floors and an antique built-in butler's pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a dressing area, walk-in closet and full private bath. The remaining bedrooms are roomy, bright, and full of charming nooks and crannies, sharing a 3/4 bath and laundry with heated tile-floors. The enchanting c.1860 English barn holds great potential for a home business, studio, or auxiliary dwelling unit and has been structurally reinforced and re-sited on a new poured concrete foundation. In 2015 the owners also had a new state-of-the-art septic system engineered to support the 3 BR home and a 1 BR ADU, by the next owner. These thoughtful upgrades over the years have added comfort and convenience to this classic home, while preserving its integrity and charm. Let this home become your sanctuary for years to come.
