Every small Vermont town has its iconic vintage homes-the ones that catch your eye every time you pass. This 1893 Queen Anne Victorian is one of Charlotte's finest, set on over 5 acres and lovingly cared for by the same owners for more than 40 years. A covered front porch welcomes you into the central foyer and expansive living room, where a large bay window frames Green Mountain views. Built-in bookcases, a wood-burning fireplace, and a window seat add to the room's original character and create a comfortable gathering space. At the back of the home, the eat-in kitchen features maple floors, custom cabinetry, slate countertops, and a sunny breakfast alcove that opens to the landscaped stone patio. Just off the kitchen, a mudroom with wainscoting, slate floors, and storage cubbies leads to a small back porch. An open dining room with cherry floors and an antique built-in butler's pantry completes the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a dressing area, walk-in closet, and private full bath. Two additional bedrooms are bright and spacious, with charming nooks and crannies throughout. They share a 3/4 bath and second-floor laundry with heated tile floors. The home underwent a thoughtful renovation in 1984 that added the kitchen, two baths, mudroom, and second-floor laundry, along with new plumbing and wiring throughout-no knob-and-tube wiring or cast iron. Beyond the home, the enchanting c.1860 English barn offers potential for a home business, studio, or auxiliary dwelling unit. The barn has been structurally reinforced and re-sited on a new poured concrete foundation. In 2015, the owners also installed a new state-of-the-art septic system engineered to support the existing 3-bedroom home and a future 1-bedroom ADU. These thoughtful improvements have added comfort and convenience while preserving the character and integrity that make this Charlotte home so memorable. After more than four decades as a beloved home, it is ready for its next chapter.
