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. To suit a growing family, it has been tastefully renovated in 1984 with the addition of a new kitchen, two baths, mudroom, and 2nd-floor laundry plus new plumbing & 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 & full private bath. The remaining bedrooms are roomy, bright, and full of charming nooks & crannies, sharing a 3/4 bath & 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 & convenience to this classic home, while preserving its integrity and charm. Let this home become your sanctuary for years to come.
