Perched above the heart of downtown Montpelier, this charming New England–style home blends historic character with unbeatable convenience. Just a short stroll to shopping, restaurants, schools, and Hubbard Park, the location offers the best of in-town living with a tucked-away tree-top feel. Inside, the warm and welcoming main level features a spacious living room where natural light pours in and continues into the dining room anchored by a cozy central pellet stove. Just off the kitchen, is a sweet little bonus room, perfect as an office for remote work, creative pursuits, or additional storage. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom offers custom built-in bookshelves and plenty of natural light. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor, providing comfortable living space with classic New England charm throughout. From the sunny back deck, enjoy seasonal views of downtown, or spend quiet evenings in the backyard complete with a firepit and garden space—an ideal retreat in any season.
