Listed by Lucy Ferrada• Heney Realtors - Element Real Estate (Montpelier)
Murray Hill, located between downtown Montpelier and the North Branch corridor, is a residential and hillside Montpelier neighborhood with tree-lined streets and long views. The character concentrates around the State Street–Main Street junction, where sidewalks, storefront windows, and café tables set a steady, small-city rhythm. Housing reads as classic New England—compact lots, porches, and older wood-frame homes stepping up the slope. Hubbard Park’s trails and overlooks shape daily routines with a quick shift from pavement to pine. Community pillars like the Savoy Theater, Bear Pond Books, and Three Penny Taproom anchor local culture and conversation.

OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21ST- 12:00 to 2:30pm. A Country feel, but convenient to all that Montpelier has to offer, this 3 bedroom/2 bath home has so much to offer its new owners. The comfortable floorplan radiates out from the nicely appointed kitchen with ample storage and food prep space, newer appliances, adjacent dining area, and a large bright living room with hardwood floors. Entry to the house is via a mudroom with places for coats and shoes. The main level also includes a large bedroom, full bath, and a laundry room with included machines. The front door of the home walks out to a covered porch overlooking distant mountains and the golden statehouse dome. Going upstairs there is a 3/4 bath at the top landing, a sitting room/office prior to the large primary bedroom , and a 2nd bedroom that is currently undergoing a full remodel that the new owner will be able to complete as the want. The yard slopes uphill from the street but offers lots of opportunities for garden and recreational spaces. There is a storage shed behind the house for your yard tools. Showings on Saturday and Sunday only. The roof is new but the house needs exterior paint.
