About This Home

As of June 2026

Tucked into a quiet Berlin cul-de-sac but just minutes from downtown Montpelier and Barre, this charming home hits the sweet spot between classic comfort and modern convenience. Set on a level 1.1-acre lot backing to mature trees, it's your own slice of Vermont, perfect for gardening, playing, or simply unwinding in nature.
Inside, original hardwood floors, a cozy brick fireplace, and a screened porch invite you to slow down and stay awhile. The spacious kitchen was thoughtfully added to the original home, creating a natural gathering space for cooking, conversation, and connection. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main floor, with two more bedrooms upstairs.
Need a workshop or extra storage? The full basement has space to build, tinker, or store your gear, while the two-car garage keeps the Vermont winters manageable. Efficient heating and cooling via a heat pump and oil-fired system, plus town water and a backup generator, mean peace of mind year-round.
If you've been looking for a home with acreage that blends charm, function, and location, this one checks all the boxes. After 32 years of thoughtful ownership, it is ready for someone new to fall in love.
