Here’s a beautiful Second Empire Victorian waiting for someone with a passion for restoration and a love of historic architecture. With its signature mansard roof, elegant woodwork, built-ins, and tall ceilings, this building holds the character and charm of its era while offering the potential for modern living. Most recently a four-unit property, it has been thoughtfully reimagined into a six-unit apartment building, with permits already in place. The layout includes a three-bedroom unit, a two-bedroom unit, and four one-bedroom units—an ideal opportunity to bring much-needed housing to the area. Major structural work has been completed, including extensive repairs to the NW side, where foundation and framing issues were remedied from the ground up using dimensional lumber to match the original. The interior has been gutted, allowing for a fresh start while preserving period details. A high-efficiency, two-boiler propane system, designed by F.W. Webb, has been roughed in at a cost of approximately $30K, offering a tandem setup where each unit works together or stands alone if needed. The plan was to include heat and hot water in the rent. Electrical infrastructure is in place for seven meters—one per unit plus a common meter for shared areas and the boiler room. Located on 'The Hill, ' this property is just moments from schools, shops, restaurants, and all the conveniences of town.

If you live in St. Johnsbury you probably recognize this as one of the most architecturally unique houses in town. Built in the late 1800s, in the Second Empire Victorian style, this massive home retains many special features: mansard roof, tower, wrap around porch, curved window casings, bay windows with leaded glass, ornate lintels and bracketed eaves (and that's just on the outside). Inside there are French doors, hardwood floors, built-ins, original moldings, a marble fireplace, solid brass radiators, and tall ceilings. Now that I have the historic home fandom items out of the way you might be wondering how the inside is laid out... As you might expect, the former 'Calderwood's Rooming House' has lots of space, about 4500 square feet of it. The ground floor has 2 apartments, both currently occupied. The 2nd floor has one apartment nearly finished with room for 1 or 2 more apartments depending on how you choose to finish it off and where you locate walls. The 3rd floor is set up as yet another large apartment, but needs finishing. The house does need work as even the untrained eye can see. The roof and soffits in particular are in need of restoration. New roof shingles are included with the sale so that's a start. Plumbing, wiring and interior have all had major updates in recent years. Take pleasure in restoring a truly worthwhile and enduring building while adding to a small town's much needed rental housing stock.
