4 Blackwell StreetMontpelier, VT 05602Sale Price: $315,000

The charm of the past, the promise of the future. That's what this home delivers. Be ahead of the curve on Vermont's clean energy goals with this weatherized, fossil fuel-free home while enjoying wood floors throughout. Solar panels, Tesla Powerwalls, heat pumps, and an EV charger. With solar and wood fueled heat, your total cost of ownership can be significantly lower than heating with oil in a drafty house. Plus, this home has been torn up and redone so you don't have to, with high R values in the roof and fun loft spaces added in the bedrooms, plus a French drain put in to keep your basement dry as a bone (even when the power goes out, thanks to the Powerwalls). Tucked back from the road just enough to feel some privacy, yet still just a mile to Hunger Mountain Co-op, this 2 bed 1.5 bath home is just outside of town in Montpelier on just over a half acre. Hop on the bike path right around the corner for a day's adventure or stay home and enjoy the back deck, yard and garden space by yourself or with friends (the blackberries are overflowing in July, so you'll have plenty to share). When Montpelier is expecting to get hit with a big storm, and you aren't concerned because you know you'll still have power even when your neighbors don't... you'll be grateful you bought this cozy house at 4 Blackwell St.
