12 Wilson StreetMontpelier, VT 05602Price: $474,000

Very well-kept and nicely updated four bedroom Montpelier colonial home offered for sale. First floor includes a large living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, and a bonus room all with lovely hardwood floors. Stone countertops and stainless steel appliances make the practical kitchen a joy to prepare meals in. And then, in the “let's make life easy” department, 12 Wilson has a nice mudroom, first floor laundry, and a half bathroom all on this level. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, again, with hardwood floors. The primary bedroom is spacious with nice closet space, and easily fits a king size bed (remember that first floor laundry? The washer is oversized, and can handle king size bedding). People in your household might have to rock, paper, scissors to see who gets the room with the built-in bench. Detached one car garage, paved driveway, easy to maintain vinyl siding, new architectural shingle roof, and new don't-have-to-clean gutters. Relax on the wraparound, private back deck as you take in these beautiful fall days and evenings. This property sets high up on a corner lot that's nicely landscaped with a beautiful maple tree in the front, and a yard that's big enough to enjoy, but not so big that you have to spend all weekend doing yard work. Very convenient location! Easy to town, with sidewalks to downtown and to the Co-Op, and a quick drive to the hospital, Berlin Corners, and 89. Don't miss the views over Montpelier, to Sabin's Pasture, and toward the state house
