Cute as a button, and somehow even better in person. This house doesn't just *have charm*, it radiates it, like it invented the word. From the moment you pull up, you notice the cedar privacy fences and follow the paver driveway to the bluestone patio, it's clear: this is not your average Vermont home. It's a living, breathing moodboard. All new clapboard siding and fresh paint set the tone. Then it gets better: a corrugated modern laundry/mudroom addition (built by Red House) with custom-built-ins? Heck yes. Covered front porch for chats with the neighbors and balcony off the flex room for sunrise coffee? Check. Inside, it's all texture and tone: radiant heat across the first floor (yes, warmth matters), Brazilian cherry underfoot, original wide pine floors and vaulted ceilings in the second bedroom, and contours that move like sculpture. The kitchen? Quartz counters, a walk-in pantry, and a layout that begs you to invite your friends over and cook something. Sunlight floods in, and everything just works. Pella and Marvin windows, new insulation for cool nights and mini-splits for warm ones, custom maple built-ins, and no through-traffic to contend with! This place has soul. The landscape is quietly wild and deeply intentional. Out front, a magnolia tree sets the tone. In back: native ironwood, wild grapevine, and a weeping larch. Perennials flood the upper terrace. Native hardscaping from Isle La Motte, rich in fossils; Vermont slate from Church Street; Barre granite cobbles. Thoughtful, artistic, warm, but never precious. If *vibe* matters to you, and it absolutely should, this one hits different.
