About this home
This five-bedroom, 2.5 story, custom built colonial in Barre Town sits back from the road on a 1.75-acre lot. The location is convenient and yet private, the best of both worlds! This property comes fully loaded with too many features to mention here so be sure to check out the “Property Highlights” handout attached to the listing. This home is energy efficient and rated 5+ STARS! This house is also environmentally friendly, soaking up the sun to power the house. Charge an electric vehicle with the ChargePoint charger in the attached, oversized, 3-car garage. No need to fear power outages or loud generators thanks to the Tesla Power Wall. The first floor, heated slab is a work of art. It was hand painted and then epoxied. It catches the light from different areas of the home and seems to almost change color as you make your way around the first floor. The first-floor features 9-foot ceilings, a large kitchen with quartz countertops and modern appliances, a half bath, dining area, living room with a luxury fireplace, and Master Bedroom with dual walk-in closets and En Suite. The property boasts first floor and second floor laundry. The second floor houses an additional 4 bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor is a ½ story and is partially finished. Other perks, in no particular order: central vac, security system onsite, full length covered porch, tree house with 120 ft zipline. .. oh and did you see the built-in doghouse by the fireplace?! Adorable! Come check out this gem
This is a wooded and secluded building lot off upper Richardson Rd in Barre. It is 1.75 acres, very private location yet just minutes to downtown Barre or downtown Montpelier. The property borders a large wooded area in back that will not be developed as it is the back area of some existing homes. The front of the property borders undeveloped land owned by the Vermont land trust. Sewer hookup is available on Richardson Rd and water would be supplied by private well. Cable TV, Internet and phone service is available at the road. There is a 50 foot right of way from Richardson Rd to the lot.
