This 1875, Victorian home is located in the Village of Johnson. Johnson is centrally located 1 hour from Burlington, 50 minutes from Montpellier, 15 minutes from Smugglers Notch in Jeffersonville, and 25 minutes from Stowe Mountain. Johnson is a unique small town in that it has a college with a great entertainment calendar including live theater, ballets, and music events and The Studio Center with regularly changing art exhibits and readings by visiting poets and writers. There are many conveniences with local grocery, bakery, book store, coffee shop, really great restaurants within town limits, and being sandwiched between resort towns provides many more options close by. Johnson is also about to undergo a revitalization project with a complete Main Street face lift. The main house has a large kitchen w/breakfast nook, formal dining room, living room, den/4th bedroom, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Currently there is a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom mother-in-law apartment, but opening a sealed doorway could easily allow it to be reintegrated into the main house or keep it separate for rental income, home based business or storage. Electric & Plumbing updated 2001. New roof Summer 2006. New oil boiler Fall of 2005. Wood burning boiler option. Baseboard zone heating. 1 car attached garage. Wood floors throughout. Much of original woodwork, doors and handles remain. Lots of landscaping and perennials. Village water and sewer. Full unfinished basement with bulkhead access. There is a 2200 sq. ft. Quonset Hut that has 3 phase power, running water, and a large wood burning stove. It would be ideal for a home based business/ workshop, or for storing large toys". This house would definitely lend itself to a bed and breakfast and is in a town that could use one considering there is no lodging for visiting college parents, and it is on the main road that connects two large ski resorts. Just apraised for $325,000 in June '07, asking $294,000. Please visit 290LowerMain.com for virtual tour. |
