Inside, the eat-in kitchen is charming and functional, with a farmhouse sink, rustic wood ceiling and cozy wood stove. With five bedrooms, including a primary suite on the first floor, plus a full bath and a combined pantry and laundry room, this home provides plenty of room for everyone. The former garage has been transformed into a versatile bonus space, perfect for a workshop or hobby room.

Conveniently located with easy access to I-89, the U.S.-Canadian border and local amenities, including grocery stores and recreational trails such as the Missisquoi Wildlife Refuge and Lamoille Valley Rail Trail.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
