Poultney, VT | 348 Bentley Avenue

This Queen Anne-Colonial Revival home blends old-world charm with modern comfort. Known historically as the C. W. Humphrey House and later “The Meeting House, ” it was built in the early 1900s by Charles W. Humphrey for his new bride, featuring ornate wood trim, intricate inlaid parquet floors, and colorful stained-glass windows. In 2013 the home was lovingly restored through the efforts of Green Mountain College and the Town of Poultney. It is presently the Guest House for the Bhakta-Griswold Campus. The house boasts a marble block foundation, wraparound porch with decorative columns, a purple slate roof, ornate trim and pocket doors. The spacious foyer is framed by the original grand staircase, double living rooms and the parlor/den. The kitchen sits at the back of the house, conveniently located near the elevator for easy entry from the lower driveway when carrying groceries. The well-lit dining room sits just off the kitchen. Upstairs just past the multi-colored stained-glass window at the top of the hall you'll find six bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a walk-in closet and a turret style balcony. The second bedroom features a beautiful decorative fireplace. The other four bedrooms are all sufficiently sized. A one car garage completes the property.
