Fairfax, VT | 68 Tabor Hill Road

Description

Nearly two centuries of character meet thoughtful updates and the pleasures of country living at 68 Tabor Hill. Set on 2.8 acres in Fairfax, this 1845 farmhouse was once the hub of a larger farm and has been cared for by the current owners since 1989. A welcoming farmer’s porch sets the tone, while southern pine and random with pine wood floors, detailed woodwork, and a sunlit bay window give the interior its enduring appeal. Important improvements include a recently installed standing seam metal roof, vinyl replacement windows completed in 2024, and updated 200-amp electrical service. The cherry kitchen pairs granite counters and dovetail drawers with stainless appliances and a gas range. An adjoining walk-in pantry keeps cookware, provisions, and the microwave conveniently tucked away. Gather around the dining room woodstove, stretch out in the generous double living room, or find a quiet corner to read. A first-floor bedroom, full bath, and laundry add everyday flexibility. The heated, finished workshop offers room for hobbies, creative projects, or practical pursuits. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, an updated three-quarter bath, a den/office, and a large walk-in storage closet. An unfinished attic provides substantial additional storage. Outside, the rewards arrive with the seasons: asparagus and established rhubarb, blueberries, raspberries, and two productive pear trees. Country views provide the backdrop for gardening, outdoor meals, and time spent enjoying the land. A large outbuilding shelters equipment and firewood. From morning coffee on the porch to an evening beside the woodstove, this is a home with history, comfort, and room to make a life of your own. Fairfax offers wonderful amenities as well, including hardware, restaurants, post office, pharmacy, grocerys, daycare, convenience stores, bank, and school.
