Behind its wraparound porch, this Vermont Victorian holds a considerable undertaking—and the remnants of craftsmanship worth cherishing.
Located at 277 Summer Street in St. Johnsbury, the 1890 property is listed for $148,000. Tall ceilings, intricate woodwork, and surviving built-ins lend distinction to a building now undergoing a substantial transformation.
Previously arranged as four units, it has approval for six apartments, according to the listing. The proposed configuration comprises one three-bedroom apartment, one two-bedroom apartment, and four one-bedroom apartments. That conversion remains unfinished.
Much of the interior has been stripped back to the studs. The seller reports completed structural improvements, with mechanical upgrades underway; further work includes finishing those systems and enclosing the interiors. This is a renovation project requiring substantial follow-through.
Yet the porch still suggests an inviting place to pause. For someone drawn to old buildings, the prospect of giving these rooms renewed purpose may be part of the appeal.
