25 Gallagher Road is a 1916 Cape Cod in Middlesex village, listed at $155,000. It is ready for updating, and it is priced accordingly.

For context, none of the 13 homes sold in Middlesex over the past year was listed below $250,000. Statewide, the median sale price reached $379,000 in 2025, and Vermont prices have risen nearly 40 percent since 2019, according to the Vermont Housing Finance Agency.

The Numbers

  • This home: $155,000, about $149 per square foot.
  • Middlesex, past 12 months: 13 homes sold, with list prices from $250,000 to $1.2 million, averaging about $248 per square foot.
  • Washington County, past 12 months: 29 homes listed under $200,000 sold, averaging about $141 per square foot.

Those Middlesex homes vary in size and condition, so the gap is a starting point for a buyer's own plan and budget.

The House

A classic two-story Cape on a fifth-of-an-acre village lot, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom in 1,042 square feet. The living room, dining area and kitchen are on the first floor, both bedrooms are upstairs, and there is an attached garage. Its compact size makes improvements easier to plan and pace, one room at a time.

Who This Could Work For

  • First-time buyers. A way to own in Middlesex well below the town's recent sale prices. Renovation loan programs, such as FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle, may allow some improvement costs to be included in the mortgage. A lender can explain what fits.
  • Hands-on owners and tradespeople. A lower purchase price leaves more for their own skills and materials.
  • Long-term buyers and investors. Priced alongside the county's most affordable homes, in a town where sales have run higher.
  • Buyers looking to right-size. A manageable footprint with a garage.

Location and Schools

Middlesex sits a short drive from Montpelier, with practical commutes to Barre and the Burlington area. The home is in the Washington Central Unified Union School District, served by Rumney Memorial School for grades 1 through 6 and U-32 Middle and High School for grades 7 through 12.
