Realtor Comments
Welcome to 1536 Memorial Dr in St. Johnsbury, a property built in 1850 & lovingly owned by the same family for over 60 years. When the roof was installed, the contractor praised the home’s remarkably sound timber frame, a testament to its quality construction. Inside, you’ll find a layout filled with natural light, including a lovely front room once used as a parlor for entertaining, options for bedrooms, and two more bedrooms upstairs. The home is heated by a propane boiler and wood stove, offering cozy comfort throughout Vermont’s seasons. The detached two-car garage, once used for a small business, now serves as excellent storage or workshop space. Windows, insulation, and electrical systems have been updated over the years, and the basement now features a new water heater, electrical panel, stairs, and floor supports following storm repairs in 2024. While the property is now partly (4’’ of a corner of the house) within a designated flood zone, the foundation remains in great condition from what we can see, and no damage occurred above the basement level. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone seeking an affordable home (in a mixed use zoning area) with space to grow and the freedom to update at your own pace.
