Montpelier, VT | 29 Northfield Street

Description

Calling all history lovers! This surprisingly large home was once owned by the renowned artist Thomas Waterman Wood. Before he built Athenwood and its Studio in 1900. Located just up the street from this property, he worked from this home which was built in 1850. TW Wood naturally added his own touches here such as foliated brackets and eave moldings, etc. One step inside this home and the history comes alive! Multiple hearths, hardwood floors, wood paneled ceilings, diamond pattern window muntins, and original woodwork galore. The most recent owner updated the kitchen and baths but as an architectural historian, he thoughtfully kept the character intact. The views of downtown Montpelier from the covered porch are lovely and the extra big lot allows for tons of gardening and access to woods in the backyard. Words can't do this one justice - truly a must see!
