Description

Some homes simply grow more extraordinary with time. This beautifully preserved Vermont farmhouse is a remarkable example, where generations of thoughtful care have safeguarded the craftsmanship and character that make it so special. While its original charm has been carefully preserved, meaningful improvements including spray foam insulation, updated wiring, beautifully refinished original floors, and a freshly painted interior ensure the home is as comfortable to live in today as it is beautiful to admire. The home is filled with hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, built-in cupboards, paneled fireplaces, and period hardware, creating warmth and character that simply can't be recreated. A spacious entry room welcomes you inside and offers flexibility as a mudroom or sitting room, complete with a generous walk-in closet. Glass-paned doors lead to the inviting living room where a beautifully paneled fireplace wall, built-in storage, and tall ceilings showcase the home's timeless character. Just beyond, the kitchen embraces its farmhouse roots with weathered floors, exposed beams, a vintage cookstove, and an effortless charm that feels collected over centuries rather than designed all at once. The main level also includes two spacious bedrooms, each with its own fireplace and built-in storage, along with a full bath featuring a clawfoot tub, separate walk-in shower, and convenient laundry area. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath provide room for family, guests, or creative space. Outside, a welcoming front patio, covered rear porch, and open deck overlooking a small private pond offer peaceful places to relax. Apple trees, perennial gardens, and open space invite gardening and outdoor enjoyment, while a beautifully crafted workshop offers space for woodworking, hobbies, or a studio. Surrounded by a quintessential Vermont landscape, this special property is where history, nature, and everyday living comes together.
