19 Brown Avenue

The backyard is the surprise at 19 Brown Avenue. Behind the distinctive turn-of-the-century exterior, with craftsmanship and decorative woodwork rarely seen in newer homes, is an unexpectedly spacious and beautifully landscaped city lot. A large deck and patio create an inviting place to gather outdoors, while the broad lawn, established gardens, a fully fenced yard, and mature greenery give the backyard the feel of a private retreat. Inside, this move-in-ready four-bedroom home offers nearly 1,900 square feet of finished living space with a flexible layout and hardwood floors throughout much of the home. The updated eat-in kitchen features generous cabinetry, a center island, and a walk-in pantry. The main level includes a comfortable living room, along with a separate flexible room, currently used as an office, with a gas fireplace that could also serve as a family room, den, or sitting room. First-floor laundry adds everyday convenience, and the enclosed rear porch offers a peaceful transition between the home and backyard. Four bedrooms and a full bath are located on the second floor. Above them, a full staircase leads to an expansive third floor with multiple bonus rooms, windows, built-in storage, and compelling potential for future finished space. Use it now for exceptional storage or bring your ideas and continue what has already been started. Located in a genuinely walkable St. Albans City neighborhood, 19 Brown Avenue is close to Northwestern Medical Center and within easy reach of downtown restaurants, shops, Taylor Park, community events, and the farmers market. The Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail, Hard’ack Recreation Area, everyday amenities, and I-89 are also nearby. Historic character, a versatile interior, future potential, and a backyard worth remembering, this home offers far more than first meets the eye.
