Manchester, VT | 844 East Manchester Road

Steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty, this magnificent 1850 antique estate offers a rare blend of timeless character and modern luxury. Set well back from the road, the home occupies a peaceful setting that seamlessly pairs total privacy with ultimate convenience, sitting just minutes from downtown and premier ski mountains while capturing breathtaking views of the Green Mountains. Inside the 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom main house, an expansive layout flows effortlessly between formal and casual living spaces. At the heart of the home is a stunning, custom-crafted Amish kitchen, beautifully appointed with cherry cabinetry, quartz, and soapstone. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas, while a cozy wood stove and two classic fireplaces - one equipped with a Heatilator - are perfectly placed for added warmth. The thoughtful design continues into the private quarters, featuring two bedrooms with en-suite baths. For cold winter mornings, all full bathrooms are equipped with radiant heated floors and overhead heating lamps. Outside, the property transforms into an entertainer's paradise. A lovely patio, an expansive deck with a pergola, and a relaxing hot tub are all perfectly positioned to take in the dramatic mountain vistas. Completing this exceptional compound are two incredible detached structures. A three-car garage features a private gym above, while a separate accessory building with its own private entrance offers a versatile space, ideal for a thriving on-site business, rental property or potential private guest house.

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.
