277 Summer St, Saint Johnsbury, VT 05819

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. Significant structural work has already been completed, and the building has been gutted, allowing for a fresh start while preserving its period details. A new hot water system is in place, ready to be connected. Located on 'The Hill, ' this property is just moments from schools, shops, restaurants, and all the conveniences of town. If you appreciate craftsmanship, history, and the excitement of a restoration project, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
