Historic Charm. Modern Upgrades. Easy Living. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home perfectly balances classic detail with smart, modern updates. It starts with the welcoming wraparound front porch, which is a spacious, inviting spot for enjoying morning coffee, evening cocktails with friends, or simply curling up with a good book. Upon entering, you'll find the inside of this home as appealing as the outside, highlighted by original woodwork and hardwood floors. The living and dining rooms flow openly into one another, making the main level perfect for everything from easy, everyday living to hosting holiday gatherings. At the center of the home is the kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, plenty of storage, and a handy mudroom that leads out to the side porch and the backyard. A flexible first-floor bedroom (currently used as a den) sits near the half bath, making it the perfect setup for guests, first-floor living, or a home office. Upstairs, an open bonus room offers extra hangout space, alongside a full bath and two comfortable bedrooms, one of which has a classic transom window and a private balcony. Behind this home's vintage charm are impressive energy-efficient infrastructure upgrades, including a new boiler, a heat pump water heater, and a mini-split for efficient heating and cooling. There is also an exterior EV charger and a state-of-the-art smart SPAN® electrical panel that lets you manage the whole home's energy right from your phone. Located in the heart of Rutland, this lovely home is just moments from downtown restaurants, shopping, parks, RRMC, and a plethora of recreational opportunities, including Pine Hill Park for mountain biking and Killington-Pico Ski Resort.
