Charming, historic home in the heart of the Village of Essex Junction! This home has been lovingly maintained and meticulously updated for modern living, while keeping the original character intact. The classic front porch is perfect for eating breakfast in the warm early morning sunshine, or relaxing in the cool evenings and watching the world go by. The first floor boasts high ceilings and large windows, with a generous living room and formal dining space and wood floors throughout. A bright, fully-renovated kitchen includes glass-front cabinets, high-end stainless appliances, and granite countertops, and connects to an enclosed back porch. Upstairs, the bright and airy second floor features three spacious bedrooms, a library/office space, and an updated full bath with double vanity. The master bedroom closet is huge - the width of the room! The third floor includes two bonus rooms plus a half bath, and the dry, carpeted basement has a large workout/play area, laundry, and a unique brick storage room. The direct vent wall heating unit with on demand hot water provides efficient inexpensive heating in this well-insulated home. The fully fenced yard has a patio and great garden space. A garage and two sheds provide additional storage, and two driveways offer plenty of off-street parking. Near the center of the village, this location is convenient to coffee shops, restaurants, schools, and shopping, and is a short drive to Burlington and the lake. This home is a rare find!
