Description

Here's a home in one of those neighborhoods where people move in and stay for a long time! The current owners have lovingly maintained and updated this three bedroom, two bathroom 1540 finished sq ft+/- home since 1977. The gleaming hardwood floors and tiled kitchen with granite countertop give this home some serious class. The first floor bathroom has a Jacuzzi jetted tub and an oversized storage closet. The mostly finished basement stays nice and cool in the summer and warms up easily with the supplemental heat from the beautiful Avalon Tree of Life vented gas fireplace. There is a separate office space to work from home and a large workshop with cabinets to store everything out of site. A half bathroom also has shares space with the laundry. The basement has direct access to the one car garage that has two "human" doors with bonus access to the front and back yards. Off the kitchen is a back door to a private deck to enjoy the landscaped yard. The home is tucked in at the end of the road that makes it feel like it has more than a quarter of an acre. All of the schools are nearby as is a grocery store, downtown and access to the the belt line to more shopping and the highway.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from October 30, 2025

    "I don’t know. I’m sure they would like it. Barre seems to be a dog friendly place. Dog ownership is the least of your worries in Barre. The city is literally crumbling. "

    "The home is only 10 years old, we are non-smokers and my back yard abuts a radio station. It is fully wooded and will never be developed. Also, neither of my neighbors are junky and the only foot traffic are the kids riding their bikes and neighbors walking their dogs. "
