Manchester, VT | 1568 Depot Street

Built in 1905, when Manchester was emerging as one of Vermont's most desirable summer destinations, this stately Queen Anne residence on Bonnet Street reflects an era of exceptional craftsmanship and enduring quality. Offered for sale for the first time since 1974, the property has been lovingly maintained by its longtime owner, preserving much of its original character and architectural detail while making thoughtful investments where they matter most, including a newer boiler and roof. Set on one acre just steps from the intersection of Main Street and Route 30 in Manchester, this is a large parcel for the downtown location. The home offers four bedrooms, gracious living spaces, a bar room, and a one bedroom apartment on the top floor. A wide front porch has welcomed generations of family and friends. Original woodwork, period details, and the home’s enduring character create a wonderful foundation for its next chapter. Sited back from the street front, and about the mid point of the lot is a substantial barn. The barn has two apartments, creating opportunities for guest accommodations, rental income, or studio space. The property is zoned “Mixed-Use-1”, which presents the opportunity for 7 or 8 additional dwelling units or other complementary development, subject to local approvals. Whether envisioned as a mixed-use investment, a boutique hospitality property, an expanded residence, or a long-term redevelopment opportunity, few properties combine historic character, development potential, and a downtown Manchester location as effectively as this one.

The landmark site of Manchester’s beloved Double Hex Restaurant is now available! Perfectly positioned just off the exit of Vermont Route 7 at Routes 11/30, this property sits in one of the highest-traffic areas in Manchester, an ideal stop for visitors heading the 1 mile into downtown or straight up to the 3 local ski areas. With generous parking, EV charging stations, and a landscaped garden framed by mountain views, the setting is as functional as it is welcoming. For nearly 25 years, the Hex has been a favorite gathering place for locals and travelers alike, known for its inviting atmosphere and hearty comfort food. In 2006, the owners expanded the building to meet growing demand, adding capacity while preserving its charm. Offering both indoor and outdoor dining, it has remained a year round destination with a dedicated following. Whether reimagined as a restaurant or transformed into another concept, this property is a proven location with unmatched visibility. Zoned MU3, it is approved for a variety of uses, including a gourmet food market, grocery store, and more. A rare opportunity to bring your vision to one of Manchester’s most recognized and successful addresses! If interested in the business and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) prices are available upon request.
