Property Description
Step into an 1880s Victorian re-imagined for the 21st century. Located moments from downtown Brattleboro, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home blends historic craftsmanship with a cutting-edge deep-energy retrofit. Enjoy easy access to shops, dining, the Amtrak station, and the Retreat Trails from a peaceful, residential setting. Unlike typical historic renovations, this property underwent a from-the-studs rebuild in 2018, serving as a pilot for high-performance building science. It is now fully electric and fossil-fuel free, featuring : Air-to-water heat pump for heating/cooling and an Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) system for superior indoor air quality. The home also has a super-insulated, airtight building envelope ensuring year-round comfort and efficiency, with a durable standing seam roof equipped with solar panels. The interior honors its heritage while embracing sustainable, modern design, using eco- friendly materials: copper countertops, natural linoleum flooring, and Energy Star appliances. Modern mechanical systems and smart features throughout, you get turn-key Peace of Mind.: Every major system-from insulation to infrastructure-is new, offering a rare level of durability in a vintage home. 81 Chapin Street is more than a renovation; it's a blueprint for the future. For those seeking environmental responsibility without sacrificing historic charm, this is a truly unique opportunity.
