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.

Sited back from the street front, and about the mid point of the lot is a substantial barn.
