Listing broker remarks

Set on 0.6 acres in a wooded lot in Barre, this home offers over 1,700 square feet of living space with 6 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms across three levels, plus a sunroom, an office, and an enclosed porch. The finished walkout basement includes an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) — a separate in-law apartment with its own full bath — making the place workable for multi-generational living or other possibilities. Solar panels have cut electric costs substantially, from $400–$500 per month down to $233 per month, and the home also features 200-amp electrical service, insulated windows, town water, and a 4 year old septic system. From the outside there's just one garage door, but the garage space itself is enormous, with room to serve as a workshop, storage, or a range of other uses, and the paved driveway fits up to seven vehicles. The property also has a large back yard the current owner has used heavily for gardening, along with good frontage on the front yard. New boiler installed December 2022. Be advises main home is vacant however ADU is occupied please do not walk the property without prior authorization.— Keller Williams Elite
