Compass Real Estate

Some homes are about perfection. Others are about possibility. Set on an unusually generous lot in one of Winooski's established hillside neighborhoods, this 1850 Colonial offers something that's becoming harder and harder to find: room to grow, both inside and out. With over 2,000 square feet, three bedrooms (including two oversized retreats), and 2.5 baths, there's space here for everyday life to spread out comfortably. The first floor keeps things practical with a dedicated laundry room and half bath, while upstairs you'll find two full baths, including a private en suite for the primary bedroom. The house has evolved over the years, and it wears its age differently than you might expect. Inside, it feels less like stepping into the 1800s and more like a home that's been added to, lived in, and loved across generations. Morning light pours through the windows, the covered front porch stretches nearly the full width of the house, and the back deck invites summer dinners, coffee, or simply watching the yard change with the seasons. And then there's the lot. At over three-tenths of an acre, it's one of the property's standout features - a rare amount of outdoor space this close to downtown Winooski. Garden. Play. Entertain. Or simply enjoy having room to breathe. Two driveways offer flexible parking, and the second floor even catches views toward Burlington and UVM. Just minutes from downtown restaurants, cafs, and shops, with quick access to I-89, the location strikes an ideal balance between neighborhood tranquility and everyday convenience. If you've been waiting for a home with good bones, abundant space, and the opportunity to make it unmistakably your own, 88 Leclair Street is ready for its next chapter.
