41 Manseau Street, Winooski, VT 05404

Classic, sophisticated, and right in the heart of Winooski, this is a house with some serious charm. Start on the enclosed front porch, where a full bank of windows creates a bright, welcoming space to settle in and watch the neighborhood go by. Through the front door, the main level opens up with warm wood floors, beautiful original trim and casings, coffered ceiling details, and a pellet stove anchoring the living area. There's character here, the kind that’s hard to replicate and even harder to find. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and work space, while the bright dining room is made for everything from weeknight dinners to lingering evenings around a full table of friends. Upstairs, three spacious, light-filled bedrooms continue the original wood floors, while the full bath brings even more vintage personality with a claw-foot tub and built-in storage. One more flight leads to an unfinished attic for additional storage. Downstairs, the basement provides laundry and more room for the practical stuff. But out back is where this house really shows off. An enormous screened porch steals the show, creating an outdoor living room you'll want to use every chance you get. Beyond it, an adorable backyard offers just enough green space, with a detached one-car garage tucked at the back. And then there's the location. Downtown Winooski and its seriously good food scene are just a 10-minute walk away, while I-89 is barely a minute from home when you're headed farther afield. With its original character, inviting spaces, and great bones already in place, this home is ready for its next owner to bring their own ideas and take it to the next level. The hard-to-find stuff is already here. Now it's ready for what comes next.
