Rich in character and thoughtfully updated, this charming New England home seamlessly blends historic appeal with modern comfort. Originally built in 1900, many of its timeless features have been carefully preserved, including the original tin ceilings, hardwood floors, wood trim, and interior doors. The beautifully renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring cherry soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, apron-front sink, center island with built-in wine cooler, a 6-burner gas range, and pot filler. Just beyond, the dining room flows effortlessly into the living room through wide cased openings, creating an inviting layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Step outside to the back deck and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains, a perfect setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and an updated ¾ bath complete with a tiled shower and dual pedestal sinks. The walk-out basement, enhanced with a new concrete floor, offers flexible space for a home office, recreation room, workshop, or storage. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a newer roof, updated wiring and plumbing throughout, a new boiler, and a new hot water heater. A detached one-car garage adds convenience, while the location offers easy access to everything Island Pond has to offer. Just minutes from local restaurants, shops, and recreational amenities, outdoor enthusiasts will especially appreciate the Clyde River nearby, carry your kayak through the backyard and enjoy a peaceful float downstream right from home. This move-in ready property offers the perfect combination of character, comfort, and Northeast Kingdom lifestyle.
