Set on a private 3.83-acre lot, this charming 3-bedroom chalet-style home showcases how a well-designed landscape can create a sense of place; drawing you in, and maximizing the views of the pond, Mount Abe, and Lincoln Peak and the enchanting evening alpenglow enjoyed from the house, decks and property. Inside, the living space is anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and complemented by natural pine flooring, exposed timber accents, and vaulted ceilings in the sunroom and bedrooms that enhance the home's rustic appeal. The efficient kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and counter space and flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, making it convenient for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the living room, a sunken four-season sunroom provides a warm space to relax and take in the surrounding scenery year-round. The main level also includes a small bedroom and a 3/4 bath. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom features a private balcony overlooking the pond and mountains, offering a peaceful place to start or end your day. The walk-out basement includes a 100 sqft finished space as well as the home's utilities, laundry area, and space for storage, hobbies, or a workshop. Additional highlights include a detached two-car garage, a standing-seam metal roof, and a backup generator for added peace of mind. Located just 23 minutes to Mad River Glen, 30 minutes to Sugarbush, and 50 minutes to Burlington International Airport.

Set on 3.81 acres, this sweet two-bedroom home enjoys mountain and meadow views, while offering comfortable and efficient space with the ability to accommodate one-level living. The open layout creates easy flow and good sightlines throughout the main living area, and the tastefully updated eat-in kitchen provides a welcoming space you’ll enjoy cooking in. Down the hall, a full guest bath, the primary bedroom featuring a private en-suite ¾ bath, and a second bedroom currently housing the laundry, keep all of your essentials on the main level. The full basement offers additional possibilities, with partially finished spaces that were previously utilized as a third bedroom with plumbing for a ½ bath, and a bonus area, both of which could be reclaimed with a bit of finishing. The basement also provides utility and storage space, with direct access outside. Outside, a detached two-car garage and owned solar, add both convenience and energy efficiency to the home.
Built in 1884, this historic home has lived many lives - town post office, shoemaker’s workshop, and community anchor. Today, with strong structural bones, soaring ceilings, and thoughtful renovations already underway, it’s ready to welcome its next chapter. Significant improvements have been completed, including cellulose and spray foam insulation, floor stabilization, reinforced rafters, fully updated electrical and plumbing systems, several new windows, and a newly lined chimney. With much of the essential structural and mechanical work in place, the next owner can focus on bringing their vision to life through finishes and design. With over 2,500 above-grade square feet, the home’s generous size and flexible layout offer a variety of possibilities. One wing is already underway as a potential separate rental unit, but could easily be reimagined to suit your needs, as a first-floor primary suite, a spacious home office, or private guest quarters. Upstairs has roughed-in plumbing for two bathrooms. Outside, a classic barn and a level, open lot provide even more potential, whether for storage, hobbies, or simply enjoying the surrounding space. You'll also find blackberries, blueberries, grapes, and apples dotting the property. Ideally located in the heart of Lincoln Village, you’ll find local amenities and a strong sense of community just outside your door. Enjoy the nearby General Store for a snack and a chat, live music at Burnham Hall, a refreshing swim in the river across the street, or a baseball game at the nearby recreation field. This is a rare opportunity to complete a historic renovation with major infrastructure improvements already in place. All that’s left is your vision - and the chance to shape what this home becomes next.
