About This Home
As of August 2025Start your next chapter in this charming and timeless Victorian nestled in the heart of St. Albans City. Offering over 2,200 square feet of finished living space across three levels, this home blends character, comfort, and location in all the best ways. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the warmth of hardwood floors, beautifully preserved original woodwork, and natural light pouring through large windows. The main level invites you to relax or entertain, with spacious living areas that flow effortlessly. The rear entry bonus room serves as a smart and sunny connection between the backyard, three-season porch, and kitchen, creating a perfect hub for everyday living. A convenient first-floor laundry room and half bath add to the functionality of this thoughtfully designed layout. Upstairs, the second level features four generously sized bedrooms and ample storage, with a full bath that complements the home's original charm. The finished third floor offers endless possibilities—a playroom, home office, creative studio, or workout space—all with room to grow. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced, flat backyard ideal for gathering, gardening, or unwinding by the firepit. The covered front porch sets the scene for slow mornings with coffee, while the enclosed rear porch provides added space and seasonal flexibility. Set on a quiet, sidewalk-lined street just minutes from vibrant downtown shops, parks, restaurants, and I-89.
