Charming 1914 bungalow farmhouse in Alburgh Village offers an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers or investors ready to add their own touch. Set on a quiet dead-end road on .28 acres, this three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home offers 832 finished square feet plus a detached two-car garage. It's close to the library, post office, and local cafes, with easy access to St. Albans (30 minutes) and Burlington or Montreal (about an hour). The big-ticket items are already done, including a new roof (2024), a new heating system, a new 200-amp electric panel, updated PEX water lines, and many replaced windows. The kitchen has been renovated with granite countertops, oak cabinetry, and newer appliances. A new half bath with washer/dryer hookups on the first floor and a new mudroom with built-in bench add everyday function. The open and spacious living room has high ceilings and lots of light. The first floor features new LVP flooring throughout, along with fresh baseboards in the living room. Upstairs, two bedrooms and the hallway feature original wood floors, freshly refinished and gleaming. The primary bedroom has new flooring. The full bath has been updated with a new tub, flooring, vanity, and toilet. Outside, enjoy covered porches front and back, a paved driveway, and a spacious, private back yard with mature plantings, including Concord grapes and an apple tree. This is a home with good bones and the expensive work already handled, so what's left is mostly cosmetic. Bring your vision and a little elbow grease, and make it your own at a great entry-level price.
