Tucked into the hillside section of St. Albans, this well-maintained duplex brings privacy, flexibility, Lake Champlain views, and a layout optimal for owner occupying or as an investment. Uniquely placed on a hillside between Donnelly and High Street. Each home has its own entrance and dedicated off-street parking, giving both units an easy sense of independence. Inside, each unit offers two bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a bonus office or study space for remote work, creative projects, guests, or the kind of storage that keeps life from taking over the living room. The upper unit gets the extra magic, with scenic views of Lake Champlain and access to a detached two-car garage, while the lower unit benefits from its own attached one-car garage for easy everyday convenience during Vermont winters. A full basement adds even more room for storage and workspace. With numerous updates and improvements over the years including replacement of all the windows and electrical work, this move-in-ready St. Albans multi-family property is positioned for long-term flexibility. Live in one unit and use rental income to help offset the mortgage, add a strong Vermont duplex to your investment portfolio, or create a living setup with room to adapt as life changes. Close to downtown St. Albans, shopping, dining, and everyday essentials, this is not just a duplex on a hillside. It is a smart, scenic, quietly versatile opportunity with real Vermont staying power.
