90 Tremont Street, Barre, VT 05641

Some century homes lose their character somewhere along the way. 90 Tremont Street hasn't. Dating to around the turn of the century, this three-bedroom Barre home has kept the details that make an old house worth owning - substantial woodwork, vintage interior doors, unexpected little spaces and a wood-burning fireplace - while its current owners have steadily tackled the less glamorous work behind the scenes.

The main floor is colorful, warm and anything but generic. A newly opened pass-through connects the kitchen and dining room, where the fireplace gives the space an especially inviting focal point. The kitchen has been updated with an induction range, farmhouse sink and plenty of workspace, while a dedicated coffee nook just off the main living spaces adds one more charming and useful corner to the floor plan.

A newly finished library may be the best room in the house: a full wall of beautiful built-in shelving gives books, art and collections somewhere worthy of them. One of the home's three bedrooms is conveniently located on the first floor, along with a half bath, while two more bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs.

Also upstairs is an oversized laundry room, offering far more space than the typical tucked-away laundry setup and plenty of room for storage, folding or additional utility. Recent improvements include all new electrical, new furnace, heat pump, newer exterior siding, PEX plumbing, new Pella windows and doors, and a new retaining wall along the driveway.

From the street, the house is relatively unassuming. Inside, it is anything but. Pattern, color, wood and more than a century of character come together in a home that feels curated rather than manufactured - and one that still leaves plenty of room for its next owner to make it their own.
