Some homes simply feel like home the moment you step inside, and this is one of them. Spacious, warm, and filled with character, the rooms feel wonderfully grand while still offering an undeniable sense of comfort and belonging. The inviting front porch sets the tone, offering the perfect place for morning coffee, unhurried conversations, and front porch talks that linger into the evening. Inside, the front parlor welcomes you with a beautiful antique mantel, while beautiful wood floors found throughout areas of the first and second floors add warmth and timeless character. The more commonly used rear entrance opens into a charming room with hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, and a cozy gas stove, creating an inviting space for a reading nook, photographs, or everyday coming and going. The kitchen offers abundant custom pantry storage and peaceful views of the beautifully landscaped backyard, where meandering pathways wind through thoughtfully established gardens for quiet walks and coffee sits. Generous rooms provide flexibility for gathering, relaxing, working, and creating, while a secret third-floor play space offers a magical place for imaginations to run free. The basement includes a large workshop where much of the custom craftsmanship found throughout the home was lovingly created. Clearly cherished and carefully maintained, this is a true heartstrings home awaiting its next chapter. Conveniently located near downtown St. Albans shopping and dining, Northwestern Medical Center, Interstate 89, and Hard’ack Recreation Area with its pool, skiing, walking trails, playgrounds, fields, and year-round recreation - making it easy to enjoy both the comforts of home and all that the surrounding community has to offer.
