4 Bedroom Townhouse with 3.5 Baths and Family Room on .28 Acre Partially Fenced Property! 

This newly remodeled townhome built in 2007 was completely refinished during March and April of 2023. Boasting 2,400 square feet of finished living space, this is one of the largest townhomes you will find in the area. 

Located in a small upscale neighborhood of just 7 duplex buildings (14 residences) and 13 single family homes, this village community has a feeling of spaciousness and being out in the country. The very highly rated Bellows Free Academy (BFA) schools are just steps away. There is a path right across the street leading to the back of the school which is just a three minute walk. It also makes a great sleigh riding hill! All three schools – elementary, middle, and high schools all share the same K-12 campus. There are extensive sports fields and playgrounds right down the path.

This home is located just 20 minutes to downtown St. Albans, 35 minutes to downtown Burlington, 25 minutes to world class skiing at Smuggler’s Notch Ski Resort and to their summer water park, and 25 minutes to the shores of Lake Champlain. It is also just a few minutes from Arrowhead Mountain Lake for fishing and water sports.

This home has been very highly upgraded with only the very best. The entire interior has been painted including ceilings, walls, trim, and doors. All doors and door frames are new. The entire first floor has hardwood flooring which has been refinished. The carpeting on the second floor and stairs has an ultra plush Tempur-Pedic padding which is hypoallergenic with moisture and dust barrier technology for indoor air quality. You will love walking on this carpeting! The basement has been finished with new sheetrock and waterproof laminate flooring. The boiler and hot water system are brand new and the thermostats are all electronic soft touch which has a very nice look and feel. All of the hardware such as faucets and door handles are upscale quality finishes. All bedrooms have ceiling fans with remote controls and stylish lighting. All toilets and vanities are new. Most of the baseboard moldings are taller than average which gives a nice look. The first floor has six inch baseboard moldings. The exterior has been powerwashed and new gutters were added.

As we approach the home we are greeted by a welcoming 7 x 5 front porch with solar lights that come on automatically at night. We then enter the 15 x 15 living rom with new tile entry and gleaming refinished hardwood floors. There is a 5 ½  foot coat closet. This brightly lit room has three large windows with extra deep 7” windowsills which are perfectly sized for framed photos, plants, or knick knacks.

Next, we have the 13 x 11 dining room with elegant lighting and glass slider to the deck. The 11 x 10 kitchen has white cabinetry, granite countertops, and high end Whirlpool appliances. The appliances are clean steel which is a stainless steel look but without the fingerprints! A double window over the kitchen sink allows for extra air circulation and beautiful sunset views while you wash the dishes. The sink is eleven inches deep which allows easy access for the biggest pasta and lobster pots. A 6 x 3 pantry offers plenty of extra food storage space.

Adjoining the dining room is a nicely detailed bonus room with two big windows, crown molding, and chair rail as well as a glass door to offer privacy. This 11 x 10 room would make an ideal home office, library, or guest room. With the addition of a closet, it could potentially even be a fifth bedroom. This is a nice option to have especially if an elderly person or mobility impaired person needs a first floor sleeping space.

Rounding out our tour of the first floor is a nicely sized 6 x 5 powder room with pedestal sink.

Upstairs are three very spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom is 19 x 14 with a dimensional ceiling adding a touch of uniqueness. There is a full 14’ wall of closet space! A glass slider leads to a 10 x 3 ½ balcony which gets tremendous sunset views and overlooks the backyard. The 9 x 5 master bath is very amply sized. The second bedroom in the rear of the house also gets nice sunset views. This room is very generously sized at 15 x 11 and has a spacious 7’ closet. The third bedroom is located in the front of the house and has a distant mountain view. You can also see the school from this window. This room is sized at 17 x 10 and has a 4’ closet.

The hall bath is 12 x 9 with a luxurious 6’ double vanity with granite top. The washer and dryer hook ups are located in this area. The bathing area and toilet are behind a separate door which makes it convenient for more than one person to use the space at the same time. This bath has a nice window and a linen closet. There is an additional linen closet in the hallway.

Downstairs you will find a 14 x 14 family room and a large fourth bedroom with it’s own bath. This basement bedroom has an egress window in case of fire so it is a legal bedroom. This is a very nice bonus room which would be ideal for a teenager or adult child to have their own separate space. The bedroom is a massive 22 x 12 with 12’ closet wall. The attached full bath is a comfortable 9 x 8 size. It has a window for some natural light.

The 8 x 5 utility room houses the new boiler and hot water system as well as a sump pump. Additionally, there is some storage under the basement stairs. Of note is that the basement has a poured concrete foundation which is much better than concrete block which is used in many townhomes.

The 21x 14 garage has a concrete floor and the walls are finished with sheetrock. There is a workbench and some cabinets for storage.

The home rests on a .28 acre corner property of owned land. It is partially fenced which provides privacy. You can enjoy the spacious backyard from the 11 x 10 deck as well as have fires at the fire pit.

Another nice feature of this home is that while sitting on the front porch, glancing out of your living room or front bedroom windows, or going for a walk in the neighborhood, you can appreciate the snow capped mountain views all the way into May and even see some of the ski trails at Smuggler’s Notch.

This fine home located at 51 Old Academy Street #101 in Fairfax is priced at $429,900 and is available for a fast closing. The homeowner’s association fee is only $50 per month paid quarterly.
